Koko the gorilla dies: 'She taught me so much,' trainer says

Koko the gorilla, whose remarkable sign-language ability and motherly attachment to pet cats helped change the world’s views about the intelligence of animals and their capacity for empathy, has died at 46. Koko was taught sign language from an early age as a scientific test subject and eventually learned more than 1,000 words, a vocabulary similar to that of a human toddler. She became a celebrity who played with the likes of William Shatner, Sting, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams and Mr. Rog

Robin Williams once shared a heartwarming moment with Koko, the gorilla known for her ability to understand over 2,000 words and use 1,000 signs in sign language. Their bond was instant, with both showing deep affection and laughter. When Koko was later told of Robin’s death, she responded with the signs “CRY” and “LIP,” then became quiet and visibly emotional, bowing her head and quivering. The moment showed Koko’s emotional intelligence — and how deeply Robin’s presence touched even non-humans
