Koko is a highly intelligent gorilla who has adopted several cats as her babies over the years. She picked and named each of them and gave them the best motherly love and gentle care she could possibly give. On her 44th birthday, Koko got a big surprise!
She had a visit from not just one kitten, but a litter of kittens. “Koko fell in love with one, and the other fell in love with her,” The Gorilla Foundation shares the story.

“Not only have Koko’s maternal and play instincts kicked in, but she is signing more to her caregivers and generating new content everyday that can be used by The Gorilla Foundation to create empathy for great apes.”
