Sign Language

KOKO Gorilla
Post

Goodbye, Koko the Gorilla

Koko the gorilla passed away last week at the age of 46. For those of you who for some reason don’t read the primate obituaries every day, Koko was a gorilla who used sign language to communicate with people. Apparently she was quite the conversationalist, too, because people loved her.
