Koko looks through a new picture book sent to her as a gift from a Gorilla Foundation volunteer, Kimberly Sullivan. Koko signs about certain pictures that she likes: for example flowers when she sees some pretty flowers, red (and lipstick drink) when she sees a picture of red cats (she used to have a cat named lips lipstick). She also opens the gift card and signs cat, which is on the cover of the card. When Penny asks her to select her favorite picture in the book, she of course selects the red cats. But when Penny asks her to select a picture for Ron (co-founder Dr. Ron Cohn, her usual photographer and father figure) she selects the picture of an alligator featuring a large open mouth full of sharp teeth (alligator toys are Kokos favorites for scaring people, and herself). When Ron comes over to see Kokos pick, Koko seems a bit embarrassed and puts her hands over her face to sign unattention. Lesson: Gorillas can be extremely sensitive.

Gorillas are heavily endangered animals in some of the poorest regions of Africa, where human growth and poaching are a real threat. Hopefully their future will be secured
0:18 Wow gorillas…Koko: F those Gorrilas, Jerks.
you could at least teach her to read from right to left. come on now
@EthanNin0 I think the main obstacle would be trying to convey the sheer amount of time involved. How do you explain the concept of hundreds of millions of years to a gorilla?
Has Koko ever been to visit a zoo?
I think she licked the card because she understood that you have to lick the envolope to seal it… Any one agree. Oh well koko is so cute i wish i could meet her
@xXP1RaT3 Everyone has a moral responsibility to know the boundaries of their freedom, and if they knowingly overstep them they no longer deserve that freedom.
“There’s a card for you!”
“LETS TASTE IT!”
