Remember her?


Koko the famous gorilla, known for her sign language skills, passed away on June 19, 2018, at the age of 46, dying peacefully in her sleep at the Gorilla Foundation's preserve in Woodside, California, from natural causes.

I was just thinking a minute ago, and I have to laugh at myself hahaha, but man what I would have given to have been able to sit next to Koko like Robin Williams did and pet her and hug her. Man, that would have been incredible!! I guess I got to thinking of that because of my birthday this month. I thought wow what a great birthday gift that would be, to pet a gorilla, but they would never ever let the public do that. 🤣😂 I sure wish I could though. I'm fascinated with gorillas. They are so strong and I love studying their faces. Oh, well. I'll have to settle for my daughter's cats. I love cuddling them and getting kitty kisses. Hahaha

Koko was so awesome and sweet. So intelligent.

Have other gorillas like KOKO emerged?
@TAReturns that's an interesting question! I'm sure others are being taught just like she was.
