A
day of sadness arises as the Gorilla known as Koko
died at age 46. This inspiring Gorilla “mastered sign language, raises kittens,
and once playfully tried on the glasses of the late actor Robin Williams”. According
to the Gorilla Foundation, Koko understood “spoken English and [used] over 1,000
signs”. Koko used Sign Language to communicate many emotions and thoughts with
her care takers. She was an incredible animal with a life that inspired others.
Comments were flowing on the foundation’s Facebook page with love, and claims
were made that Koko “taught [others] so much about love, kindness, respect for animals,
and our planet.” [1 image, 1 link, 3 quotations, 104 words].
