In this archival footage, Koko meets and plays with one of her many pet kittens. These clips show Koko as she first introduces herself to the cat, cuddles with him, and carries him around to show him features of her room such as her full-length mirror. Her ability to gently and purposefully share experiences with her kittens demonstrates her empathy and capacity to form meaningful friendships with any species.

Joyful Koko

JOYFUL KOKO Penny and Koko had a close bond, similar to that of a mother and child. Much of Project Koko's research was conducted naturally through their joyful playtime interactions - which informed and enabled 5 decades of interspecies communication and love. (KokoArc Video 683, Clips 5, 6 and 7)
The Koko Signs App Goes to Africa
Переглядів 47621 день тому
The Gorilla Foundation's new Koko Signs app is being used in Cameroon, Africa, in a pilot program to see what effect it might have on a community that lives in proximity to western lowland gorillas. The initial results are very promising, but we have much more work to do, in both app development and distribution, now that we see the potential.
Koko Signs "Brush"
Переглядів 1,5 тис.Місяць тому
In this footage we see Koko ages 1 to 29 years old as she learns and uses the sign “Brush/Comb”. From the earliest stages of development as a baby, to mastering the sign independently, Koko's journey with the sign for 'Brush' exemplifies the power of motivation in learning. Grooming proved to be a compelling incentive for Koko's linguistic development.

Koko is Ready to Eat!

Penny and Koko share a moment in Koko's room as it becomes snack time. Communicating through sign language, Koko articulates her specific preferences for the fresh items in her snack bowl. This act of expressing preferences empowers Koko, granting her autonomy over her choices. Recognizing and facilitating such autonomy for captive gorillas is crucial in enhancing their well-being, and it stand...

Young Koko Plays With Blocks
Переглядів 1,4 тис.5 місяців тому
Koko loved playing with blocks and other toys, and it was a bonus that the blocks in this video were red (her favorite color)! Through this free-play, she showed her creative side and problem-solving skills. As she got older, she began using these toys to communicate complex ideas. Her word blocks were just one of the many modes of communication Koko used in addition to sign language.

Happy 42nd Birthday Ndume! We wish you outside time, sunshine and lots of birthday foliage. Ndume had access to the outdoors nearly every day at The Gorilla Foundation. He could choose whether he wanted to be inside or outside and would frequently switch between the two. We have a big persimmon tree next to the large outdoor enclosure, and persimmons ripen in the fall, right around Ndume’s birt...
World Gorilla Day 2023 - Koko Used Natural Gestures!
Переглядів 1,5 тис.7 місяців тому
In this KokoArc video we see footage from 1972 and 1973 when Koko was 1 and 2 years old. After Koko so easily learned the initial signs that Penny taught her (Eat, Drink and More), it was clear that Koko had an innate ability to use and understand gestures. In fact, Penny realized that Koko was also using her own set of gestures from the outset. “Come”, “Up” and “Give me” were among the natural...

The signs Penny (and her advisor Dr. Karl Pribram) decided to start with were Eat, Drink and More. These signs were decidedly important to infants and would be frequently repeated. Koko picked up the signs quickly, likely due the predisposition of gorillas (and all apes) fo...

🦍🌹💕
Whenever I watch this beautiful girl, I laugh hard and cry hard at the same time. I loved her so very much! ❤
and all living beings, animals, birds, fish, insects. all are souls. they all deserve our respect and protection. they are the web of life. i love koko and sadly miss her.
It always makes me sad to remember how Robins life ended, he was a beautiful soul and deserved better.
“ you gorilla “
Koko's reaction after she call her trainer the Gorilla qas like she said " Wayyyy, are you having that! Hahaha"
Beau documentaire ❤
It should be in the trees not being made mental
I miss her so much. She was definitely America's sweet heart. She was so loved.
I cried in exactly 60 seconds
WAIT, KOKO IS STILL ALIVE? I THOUGHT SHES DEAD
she is dead
Imagine you're a gorilla and you enjoy Robin William movies and then one day you get to interact with him. How amazing is that???
Gorillas are on the other side of the missing link.. We share so much with them!
adorable.
Wow...two beautiful souls connected forever ... wonderful 😊
Such a beautiful friendship
Needed my Kiki fix!
This music is so odd. 😒
Beautiful & sweet Koko, she was a gift. 💔🌻
She was so beautiful.❤
Koko was truly amazing!! I loved her and always will.❤😢
Sad that Koko never became a mother. She would have been the best mother a baby gorilla could ever have.
"instincts" is a dated and also quite specist concept. We really shouldn't talk about other animals that way anymore, ever 💀
Humans have instincts too. It's weird to think saying something has instincts is somehow a problem.
In this case, they use the term in a species-positive way.
I mean an animal does have instincts that is a female gorrilla theyre gentle of ourselves she loves the cat howeverif it wear lion that kitty has some other problems
explain why?
Κόκο μου όμορφη δεν θα σέ ξεχάσω ποτέ ❤❤
Koko was often coming up with funny names for cats) This gorilla was much more humane than humans themselves
Beautiful Koko..I miss you and your beautiful gentle self..RIP💕🧸🤗xx
Fire
To funny her with his glasses
For the strength a gorilla has she is exceptionally gentle with her cats. RIP Koko, you will never be forgotten my sweet. Lots of love from the world. ❤️🇬🇧🌍
My heart is broken.
They are both darlings.
I feel very sad too. She never had her life as a normal gorilla. If she wanted a baby for her whole life, why did she have to miss out on that. She's looking so sad and tired. You people are wonderful, but what happened?
Wonderful
So a beloved Gorilla🥰🥰🥰
Their bond is beautiful
I could cry, so beautiful. Koko & Penny were a blessing & opened hearts. 💖💔
Poor koko the only form of babies they let her have
So inspiring! Beautiful! ❤️🎉😊
Robin was such a huge part of my childhood with Popeye, Hook, Mr.'s Doubtfire, Aladdin, and GOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAM!!! and so many more. I didn't realize I could miss some one I never new but I miss him. Rest in Peace Robin we all love you. P.S. Using my mothers youtube account I'm 40 not 68.
When I sall koko in my school I all most cry
I MISS HER!! 😢😢❤❤
Winston
Seeing Koko in these old clips makes me so emotional but it's great to see her as she grew up.
Yup... that's koko intentionally trying to make a human laugh...
adorable and incredibly funny. koko is a comedic genius. the bond between penny and koko unsurpassed.
Yay for koky 😊
Hahaha thats awesome!
Love that we can talk to other primates. And they can tell us their feelings and wants.
I would have loved to met you KOKO You were a beautiful soul and saw the soul of a man instead of the man himself...I think we need to be more like KOKO. ❤❤❤
Couldn't been better said
