joining me now is jeff corwin, wildlife biggest aologist and h "ocean mysteries."hat is your take on this? >> my heart goes out to the staff who works at the zoo. i can't imagine they would ever imagine themselves to be in this situation where one of their most beloved residents should be dispatched in such a way. this is a great zoo. it's an urban zoo that connects with millions of people every year. it's a terrible tragedy. i imagine there will be many questions to come out of this and hopefully, there will be answers that will prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again. it is just absolutely horrific and i have problems just wat watching the videotape. >> i'm curious, most of us are watch going this and as that gorilla is gigantic and incredibly strong, it doesn't look like he's trying to hurt the boy and i know i'm saying what everybody else is saying but what do you think? >> in that immediate moment, i don't think he was trying to hurt the boy. that doesn't mean that in two more minutes from now the situation wouldn't have been drastically differen

wildlife biology jeff corwin says parents need to be more attentive. >> we as visitors have a responsibility to be paying attention. keeping tabs on members of our family, not being distracted by technology and social media. and ultimately, using common sense. >> reporter: the u.s. d.archdiocese has now opened a formal investigation just yet but is is looking to see if the animal welfare act was violated. scott, the last time the agency inspected the cincinnnati zoo was in april. >> pelley: jamie yuccas reporting. jamie, thank you. well, today, the u.s. state department warned americans about visiting europe and the potential for terrorist attacks there, especially at events, including the tour de france bike race, and the european soccer championships. such attacks are often timed to the muslim holy month of ramadam, which begins next week, but there is no specific threat. tonight the iraqi army is engaged in the largest battle yet against isis. iraq is trying to eject isis from fallujah, a city of about 300,000. iraq is fighting with an odd coalition of u.s. advisers and iranian forces. th

. >> reporter: wild life biologist jeff corwin isn't playing blame but said the public needs to be more attentive. >> a lot of times we get lost on our cell phone or texting and we're not keeping an eye on what's going on with our own children. also, these are wild animals. >> reporter: the boy made his way past a three-foot fence and through an additional four feet of plants and shrubs before dropping 15 feet into the moat below. although the cincinnati zoo is standing by its decision, they, too, are mourning the gorilla, along with jerry stones, who tyke care of harambe for the first 15 years of his life. >> he was not mean. he was a gentle little guy. an unforeseen circumstance was born, and he had to lose. >> despite the outcry over the responsibility of the boy's parents, cbs has whether his father was present at the zoo. zoo officials say they have drilled to prepare them for these types of situations and had practiced a week before the incident. charlie? >> thank you, jamie. >>> florida police this morning are investigating a disturbing case of road rage captured on video. it sho
