Koko (the gorilla) R.I.P.

Sad both and amazing.
I thought the clip was going to be Koko playing guitar.
I thought "if that monkey plays better than me, that's it, I'm done"

If she rips into the Stones Monkey Man, I start Pete Townshending my guitars.

It was not far off!

" Koko amazed scientists in 2012, when she showed she could learn to play the recorder. The feat revealed mental acuity but also, crucially, that primates can learn to intricately control their breathing — something that had been assumed to be beyond their abilities. "
 
No offense to you apes--- but we prefer critters around here to humans----- it is a sad day indeed.


Thanks for the video-- very moving. WHat an amazing creature she was.
 
I think I remember Koko now and it sure is sad news that she died! I love the picture of Koko holding the little baby kitten...it's so sweet. I really love animals and Koko was a very intelligent creature. Some people think animals are dumb and I think it's the other way around with what's going on in the world today. It seems Koko lived a good life which counts and showed the world how animals can be. R.I.P. to Koko...you will be remembered.:sadwave:
