That's Koko, a 35 year old gorilla who learned to speak American Sign Language when she was just a baby. She now has a vocabulary of over 1000 signs and understands even more spoken English. She loves cats, wants to have a baby, and has indicated that she will teach her children sign language, which will engender the next generation of interspecies communication.
She's also an artist-- she titled the work below "LOVE"
As are her friends.Anyway, I saw this today on Daily Candy and was totally charmed, so I thought I'd share it with YOU!
Happy Friday Everyone!
