So sorry to hear of Koko's passing, but I can't imagine the loss for Penny. RIP sweet angel.

[@juliepownall2000]

Koko rest in peace sweetie

[@SLYSPYHIWAY90]

If given the chance there's so much they can teach us . I personally feel they understand us better than we think . I think as humans we must protect them as much as possible for I believe they know exactly whats happening . They are beautiful creatures and they look to us to save them . How can we not ?

[@arwisky999]

What can a gorilla teach you?

[@hopegota2658]

Bro 💀

[@MsBellaSky]

Wish I could meet Koko and give her a big hug she is beautiful, please post more videos, love watching them

[@bre8549]

She should have let koko breed. If koko has babies she could teach her offspring and then her offspring could teach their offspring. We would have smart gorillas then they would take over the world.

[@verbaledge]

remember the seinfeld episod where george wanted to be called t-bone but they named him koko instead. i wonder if koko ever saw that episode

[@sim8485]

hahahaha wtf xD

[@daniellecailly5448]

I am sad that koko passed ,but life is life,unfortuneatly.we all die. What annoys me is some think animals are dumb.. An doubt their ability to learn, we are like different beings but same..all the various ways the universe expresses it's self... Different cultures an language,looks an expression. ,but when shown the language, can communicate the basics,( at least) like love an feelings .etc .sentinate beings,non the less.

[@dougsignorovitch1493]

Thank you Koko. Time to rest, you wounderful lady 😪😪😪

[@xyvd]

[@whatnow9159]

The only separation is our own ignorance. Rest in peace Koko.

Charisma She just passed away :(

[@dwanderer2167]

RIP Koko

[@sandymesser1550]

a very happy birthday to our precious Koko. Hope your day is a goody. We love you .

[@korlu01]

So.... he doesn't talk? You said he talks but he doesn't. He knows sign language, he knows how to communicate, he's remarkably intelligent, but I clicked on this to hear a gorilla literally vocally say the world titties or masturbation or something. This is false advertising. I'm suing.

[@penelopeasmr]

Quelle belle et riche vie vous avez du partagé avec l'adorable koko Madame 🤗🙏

[@jwill3226]

Koko, would be a better representative and negotiator than trump.

[@AngelPerez-ul3ni]

Penny and koko are absolutely beautiful creatures and we are blessed to have known their presence

[@elsakristina2689]

Just found out she passed away. R.I.P. Koko

[@mila.inthewoods]

they need to make a video with penny interviewing koko and ask her questions like: 1) how do you feel? 2) can you communicate with other animals? 3) if not, what does it feel like when you're with another species like kittens? 4) do you want to live in the wild? 5) are you happy living in the human world? 6) what can we do to help you find a mate and have a baby? 7) do you remember your mother and father? 8) what happens after death? (in the "koko the gorilla who talks" documentary on netflix she answered this question but i'd like her to elaborate if she can. she signed "dig hole, goodbye" 9) do you see anything when you sleep? (i.e. dreams) 10) what do you wonder about? 11) do you have any questions for us?

[@xarnett5385]

I'd be extremely interested to see why these scientists believed this to be bogus. Why do they feel that way?

[@junpi8562]

RIP Koko

[@Devonius]

This was amazing

[@nessunoh7467]

Rip 🙏

[@enigma5775]

RIP KOKO!

[@rocketsurgeon1746]

By talking, they mean sign language? Why didn't the title say "Koko - the gorilla who signs"?

[@jordy1682]

This.. is amazing it kinda makes me think of the future. When if u go to like a store u see a gorilla getting some milk with glasses on and stuff.

[@joegaito702]

Koko is at least with her cats in RIP always learning something new each day from koko never got the chance to meet her thanks for everything you smart and bright animals take care. Joe

[@pandalover9533]

AWWWW she's s o sweet!

[@Creasion-vb9oc]

HBD belated Sistahh

[@yeemeko2225]

i love her.

[@ketugrahagraha3673]

What will always separate us from animals is our cruelty.

[@Nareshreddy-ot3fc]

RIP Koko :(

[@asitadkar4976]

Has the strength of ten men, but the heart of a million men

[@jiggalojonski]

Unattentive visit me awe Koko was smart she understood language plain and simple she understood a vocabulary to communicate with her mommy she learned love affection and everything else humans associate with communication

[@johnleonnegamboa2069]

bruh what 40 years ago? how the

[@jjbangura4343]

imagine if gorillas and humans switch places like they evolved more than us.

[@totallynotme6027]

I wish I had a pet monkey that act like a human and talks like a human :( I just need to someone to play with in my house :((((((((

[@rosulep5281]

You are so beautiful Koko like your beautiful mom Penny. We thank your wonderful mom for introducing you to us❤

[@Gill-Leeds]

Yhank you for all you taught us Koko rest in peace you lovely girl

[@fearlessdude6376]

Monke

[@AaronParker1977]

Anybody want to flip Koko the bird just to see what she says?

[@elenastepanova3732]

I love Koko!

[@volesbbnna7202]

First

[@18890426]

The loss of Koko is the devastating loss to the homan race.

[@theshadowyoutuber4549]

It’s more Smart than me this is spumeggiante

[@onemercilessming1342]

You know...pf all those naysayers in the video, NOT ONE of them has applied for a grant to finance a study to prove that a gorilla ISN'T using language to communicate. And, if the gorillas communicate with their calls and grunts, they why is it so impossible to believe that, if human language is at their disposal, they wouldn't use human language to communicate as well? Koko was trying to teach All Ball (her first cat) to use sign language. That is RARELY discussed.

[@vergilthealphaandomega8189]

But to anyone with a half-enough decent knowledge of sign langauge, most of what koko signed isn't anywhere close to what Penny said she was saying.

[@onemercilessming1342]

@vergilthealphaandomega8189 Says YOU. How many gorillas have YOU worked with, again? None, right? JAFO. Koko was criticized for calling watermelon "candy water", one of her cats "lipstick" because of its red fur, and she called a ring a "finger bracelet" which dolts like you found hilarious until it was discovered that there was a tribe who used that exact phrase for the word, "ring".

[@jonahrotenberg9824]

Harambe

[@dariaclaws3754]

I don't know if she can really think or not but I know i didn't like those chains over her neck ...

[@pandalover9533]

*so

[@wiseass5045]

have they asked her if she believes in a God

[@TheMRTIMBUK2]

stfu

[@warzy01]

God... Sigh...

[@warzy01]

wiseass 5000 I just don't waste my time trying to find an imaginary friend listening to my begging.

[@MsBellaSky]

all animals do, they know the Lord, i believe that, they have no sin, and its biblical they will go to heaven too

[@warzy01]

Hector Diaz Would help me find the one true religion so i can be saved sir?? I don't know what to do with my life I don't know who i need to pray to be saved and enter some kind of heaven after my death, help me!!! ( SARCASM) .
