Koko the gorilla died. Such an iconic piece of property.
Not sure what this means.
But, yeah, kinda sucks. Was a more intelligent creature than many humans....
so true. i worked for a time in a zoo - with the greater apes (gorillas and orangutans). they were scary smart. worse part was the look in their eyes (and they always made serious eye contact). they knew things. like how thin the line was between where we were, and where they were.
Koko was a cat person
WOW!!!
That is chilling to read. It also makes me ill to know that those beautiful animals are that 'aware' and we treat them like shit.
RIP Koko, and thank you for teaching us to be more humane.
Very touching Ms J
