Koko's Kitten Playdate

In this archival footage, Koko meets and plays with one of her many pet kittens. These clips show Koko as she first introduces herself to the cat, cuddles with him, and carries him around to show him features of her room such as her full-length mirror. Her ability to gently and purposefully share experiences with her kittens demonstrates her empathy and capacity to form meaningful friendships with any species.

Koko was often coming up with funny names for cats) This gorilla was much more humane than humans themselves

Sad that Koko never became a mother. She would have been the best mother a baby gorilla could ever have.

"instincts" is a dated and also quite specist concept. We really shouldn't talk about other animals that way anymore, ever 💀
