Koko, the famous gorilla known for her ability to speak with her trains via a modified form of sign language, fell in love with and became the adoptive mother of two kittens.
Back in July, Koko got a box full of tiny kittens for her 44th birthday. She immediately fell in love with two kittens and adopted two of them into her family.
Koko’s caregivers explained how the new kittens have energized her world on the YouTube channel kokoflix, “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 fro great apes. This can have significant benefits to both endangered free-living great apes and those in captive environments, by encouraging the development of 2-way communication with their caregivers (which Koko has had since she was a baby).”
You can see how happy Koko is near the end of the video when she signs to have one of the kitten’s put on her head.
