Koko the Gorilla

Seen any videos on her? She's so amazing, alongside a bunch of others, that can communicate with humans.

I was reading the Wiki page and it was so sad - years back, she said she wanted a pet cat for christmas and she eventually got one, and she sign languaged that she was happy, etc. She treated it as if it was her own baby. It got ran over by a car the same year, and all she did was keep signing frown, sad and so on.

What a sad story :(.


Watching a very old but interesting documentary on her! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY_6ITSH8G8

It wasn't Koko. It was her pet cat, and when the cat got hit and died, she kept using sign language to say sad, frown, etc.
