I am so sad that Koko the Gorilla died without being a mother because she really wanted to be a mother but she is doesn't want to mate with male Gorillas.
So Who is Koko, Well I made a Mylot discussion about her years ago. She is a Gorilla who is able to understand American sign language. She also understands spoken English. She replies with sign language.
So yes she is very human. She have the vocabulary of an 8 year old human child. Koko wanted to be a mother but she doesn't want to mate with male gorillas so she is either Asexual or lesbian. She takes cares of kittens to compensate, She even have name for her kittens.
She loves Kittens and watching movies. (She knows how to use a dvd!.) She also loves painting and using coloring books.
Her favorite actor is Robin Williams, Who passed away years ago. She loves watching his movies. She is said to cry when she found out Robin Williams died. When Robin Williams found out she is such a fan, He visited her in person.
She is one of the celebrities I want to meet in person, I know some basics in sign language so I would have been able to have a conversation with her. :(
If you get to meet Koko when she was still alive, What question you would have asked her?
This is a video of Koko, meeting her Idol Robin Williams.

To see more videos of Koko, go to Kokoflix: http://www.youtube.com/user/kokoflix - or the Gorilla Foundation. This isn't my video, I uploaded it because I ha...

This gorilla is amazing. Before that, I didn't even know gorillas could do so much.

@caopaopao I wonder if Oranggutans and Chimpanzees can learn sign language too,

I used to read about this Gorilla when I was young in the Magazines. It was the wonder then, as there were no computers and internet. There used to be many articles on her with her different feats every time she achieves one! May the Soul of this lovely Gorilla Rest in Peace.Thanks!

@AKRao24 She is better than many humans, Most humans abandon their pets while Koko is a full time mom to her cats,

She will have reunion with Robin Williams, her idol and favorite actor. I first heard about her on a documentary on TV when I was like 5 years old. I think there is a movie inspired from her. The title is born to be wild, it is about a sign language using gorilla too.

I wish they will get some of her eggs, So they can continue her smart DNA and artificially inseminate it to another female Gorilla. To make sure the baby will be able to talk too, They can use the sperm of another male talking gorilla.

@rakski I wonder what will happen to her cats. Koko is like a human cat lady, She loves hoarding pet cats. She was a certified "old maid" or "Matandang dalaga" in your language.
Koko has taken care of many kittens, and helped raise them to become healthy cats, over the years. Yet, she continues to start over each time with as much en...

She lived longer than most gorillas. Sadly her dreams of becoming a mother didnt happen. She lived with three male gorillas but they didnt mate with her. So she ends up hoarding cats like a EWZRT ZQNH

I wonder what could have happened if she watched Rise of the planet of the Apes.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I am not sure about that. The cats must be sad also

I am not really sure if she is lesbian, she could be asexual. They made her live with male gorillas but instead of mating with them, she taught them sign language instead.
Imagine if she had babies, the world would have got more talking gorillas.
