In case you missed the above video, I wanted to make sure you had a chance to view it and respond.
It provides a good introduction to how Koko learned to sign, and how natural it is for all gorillas to communicate — whether it's using ASL (American Sign Language) or their own natural gestures.
It also shows why All Gorillas are Kokos!
Please join us in sharing their intelligence and creating empathy for gorillas everywhere. They need our help both in captivity and in the wild!
