Koko had a very interesting life for anyone, let alone a gorilla. She will be missed.

I've read so many stories about Koko, how she loved her pet kitten, but once blamed a sink she ripped from the wall "on the cat". True story.

When said cat was accidentally released from her cage and got ran over, I think it was, story goes that upon signing to Koko the cat was dead, she said she understood and went to be alone and researchers said she cried and wailed, just like a human.

Amazing story, RIP Koko.
