Koko eats a breakfast largely comprised of vegetables, and finishes every last bit. She starts with a plastic container full of cooked, mixed vegetables, which she delicately eats with a spoon. Then she proceeds to crunch on a hand full of string beans, before calling it a breakfast. Ron (Dr. Ron Cohn, co-founder, VP and photo/video-documentarian) can be heard softly in the background talking about some nice-looking donated cauliflowers that Koko may be sampling later that day (for lunch). Penny (Dr. Penny Patterson, co-founder, President and Director of Research) takes this video with a hand-held camera, while commenting on Koko\'s vigorous and single-minded approach to breakfast. Her comments are also included her as subtitles. Enjoy the meal! (PS: If you\'re wondering about the RainStick appearing at the end of this clip, stay tuned for "Koko\'s RainStick" to appear in a new KokoFlix video.)

Lesson: Gorillas can use tools naturally, but can also learn to use our tools (eg, spoons). When they do, they become quite natural at it (just as we do, with practice).
