Language is a tool that ordinarily separates man from animal. This understanding was challenged by Koko, a gorilla known for her astonishing use of sign language. Koko understood 2,000 words of spoken English, in addition to her knowledge of more than 1,000 signs.
In 1983, Koko requested a cat for her birthday. When gifted with a stuffed animal, she continually signed ‘sad’. Koko was given a kitten on her birthday the next year, and was gentle and loving, treating it as a baby gorilla. When she learned the news that her kitten had escaped and was hit by a car, Koko signed the words ‘bad’, ‘sad’, ‘cry’, and ‘have sorry’. Her caregiver reported hearing Koko make noises that night similar to human crying.
Throughout her life, Koko kept kittens as pets. Her intelligence and emotional capacity forever changed our perception of gorillas’ cognitive abilities. Koko passed away in her sleep on June 19th, 2018. This piece represents how I hope Koko to be now—free, and with the kittens she loved by her side.
