Koko was a very famous gorilla who could communicate with humans through sign language.
She also loved her kittens. she has had a few over the years.
I have enjoyed watching videos and reading of Koko's achievements and her thoughts on life.
It is a very sad time. RIP Koko. you taught the world a lot with your compassion.

Hi Minx. I am sorry to hear about Koko. Why do people and animals with kind hearts go that easy?

@minx267 yes, like that dog Hachiko in Japan. Koko definitely needs a statue to remember her always. i was so sad watching the link where she was playing with the kittens.

@minx267 She friendzoned all the guys who lived with her. Some people speculate she is either lesbian or asexual. Or Maybe non of the guys met her standards.
I don't know why they didnt resort to invitro or artificial insemination. She lived with 3 boys and she never got romantic with any of them but she taught them how to sign language.
