Jazzy Jan Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Goodbye to beautiful Koko. Such a beautiful animal that highlighted just how precious and magnificent gorillas are. The fact they are endangered animals is so wrong and heart breaking. RIP Koko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Such a marvelous creature. And not one of a kind, that’s what we have to learn. All life is precious and has its form of intelligence and social competence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 So sad to hear Koko is gone. What a beautiful, loving, sweet, and intelligent creature. Thanks for posting, @Jazzy Jan. As I was entering the thread, I started to think, “Isn’t Koko the one who met Robin Williams?” So charming how she fancied him! (But then who couldn’t fall for Robin? RIP, Robin, too.)

horn Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Was Michael Crichton's Congo inspired by Koko? Edit: Oh YES! http://www.michaelcrichton.com/happy-birthday-koko-the-gorilla/ Quote Happy Birthday, Koko the Gorilla, who was born this week in 1971. In Michael Crichton’s novel Congo, the sign language speaking gorilla named Amy was loosely based on Koko. You can learn more about Koko, at The Gorilla Foundation website. And to learn more about Congo, check out our new Congo Page on The Official Site of Michael Crichton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
