I visited Coco when I was 17. We hired a sign language interpreter just to have a five-minute talk. It was one of the high points of my childhood.
17 years old isn't a child haha
@@georgekurgansky5986 ikr lol
Its koko not coco
@@georgekurgansky5986 You must be 17 or younger...
It's certainly not adulthood so what would you call it? In fact, in many cases 18 isn't adulthood either and neither is 21. Adulthood is attained through life experience and occurs at different times for different people. For example, I wouldn't consider myself having attained adulthood until I moved out on my own at age 22. I certainly wasn't an adult at 17 and therefore was pretty much a child.

Let's appreciate the teachers of Koko. They teach her for 46 years
life commitment
That’s 46 years of her natural life in the jungle lost. Stop making up fake diagnoses for research .
@@leegonzalez4644 chill
@@leegonzalez4644 46 years assuming she would have lived that long exposed to nature. By that logic she could have easily been poached before reaching that age. She seemed happy and helped a lot with bringing up gorilla awareness.
Being in "class" for 8.5 hours a day is no way for a gorilla to live. It is not natural and only done to fulfill the sick curiosity of humans. I do not appreciate that at all.
I can’t believe this video forgot to mention that Koko once broke a sink and then blamed it on All-Ball
that is the sweetest thing ive ever heard
or that she specifically asked to meet mr roger while watching his show and when she met him she kept singing "love"
Haha yes
All-Ball just sitting their like, "wtf?"
Omg, I've never heard that 😆🤣🤣
I remember when Koko died. My heart still breaks for Francine. She dedicated her entire life to Koko, understanding that to have a child would forever come between her and Koko.
Every dumbass on earth can have its own fuckstain, but how many can be proud of such revolutionary research in interspecies communication?
The fact that Koko named her cat ALL BALL, and understand eye brows rymes with brows has convinced me that Koko is a natural rapper
"Man koko love, but man stupid"
-Koko
Yes
So very true.
Yeah, Koko love nature, Koko love man and man stupid.
Yeah man destroy nature.
well she's not wrong.
My family (I was kinda in it) taught my dog to say 4 words and those words were “I love you to” but she didn’t do sign language she used the words while howling she could only use those words while my family were acting like husky’s it sounded like “I LOVE you!” But the dog said “I LOVE YOU TO...~” she treated me like a son She is the best!
"Koko's IQ is 85, average humans is 100 this makes her more smarter than most people in Florida" 😂😂😂
Lol I laughed so much lol
actually smarter than my coworkers in california
my coworkers have lower IQ than koko, in fact if california didn't lie about their actual average IQ a vegetable can beat them outright.
After hearing this I came here😂😂
Or Mexico🇲🇽??
She is smarter than Justin Bieber
I cried through this entire video. Poor Michael. Poor All Ball. Sweet koko...
Lovely piece on Coco. Sad to hear that her whole life was in captivity, caged for research. She was a big hearted being. Thank you Coco for all the love and wisdom you shared.
Koko with a k
But in the wild a human probably would have shot and killed her. So in my eyes she had a happy and safe life.
@@edwardmcintyre3708 So if this were you, likely to die in a car accident, you would prefer living in a cage for your whole life? Mostly without other humans? Your idea of a happy and safe life?

The part where Koko was describing what happened to her mother made me tear up. Bless Koko and RIP!
It was Mike not Koko
We are collectively responsible for that.
That was Michael
Koko was an amazing animal, she brought us closer to communicating with animals. I hope we have more animals like her in the future.
Koko has better jokes than the person who wrote the jokes in this video.
True chiz though
The neigh one kinda made me crack a smile sounded exactly like something my dad would say
And the writer still has the terrible taste to joke (and put happy music) while Michael explained his mother gruesome and brutal death.
Agreed.... at some point it was just like- stop man, it’s not funny
the one about florida wasnt a joke
That main woman teacher grew old with koko. Such determination.
She's beautiful

@Michael Schmeltz part of it
@Michael Schmeltz oh fr?
Koko roasted humanity in her last moments, respect👏
Such a smart gorilla
I remember KOKO, the day she was told the cat died. She cried all night. She was self aware. In the words of Koko , Nature sees us.
Aww
But, She can’t cry. She wasn’t able to
@@user-jo7gu1vp6x yeah they can't cry tears but she cry like a dog does, with her mouth. 👍
How they cried
Nature sees us and will correct the cancer of us.
A few weeks later Dr. Patterson gave Koko a little gray kitten. Koko picked up the kitten very carefully and caressed it gently. When asked what she was going to call it, she signed "All Ball" perhaps she gave it this name because Koko have no tail. Without a tail it look like a ball of fur. koko carried All ball around on her back. The kitten clutch Koko's fur, the way baby gorillas do with their mothers. Koko love to plays with All ball the two became close friend one day All ball was hit by a car died. For days afterward Koko miserable over the loss of her friend. Koko recover her good spirit when Dr. Patterson gave her another kitten to replace All ball.
That cat story sounds like a cruel and u unusual study... all ball was taken away or killed by these scientists to study her emotional tendencies and intellectual awareness
@@hosannahosanna2719 yep, despite how they try to advertise this as a pure story of an exceptionally human like gorilla, there's a reason she is the way she is and it's because of them fucking with her like that. essentially FORCING them to evolve emotionally.
ALL-BALL is such a metal nane
@@hosannahosanna2719 All Ball was run over by a car.
If the kitten was part of the program, how did it end up outside unattended to be hit by a car?
Something doesn’t add up…
I wasn’t sad when they said koko died. The amount she was able to accomplish and prove was more than a lot of humans. In her 40 years I think she had more of a life than a lot of us. What an awesome story.
I cried when I found out Koko passed away. She was such an unique character. The world is less bright without her. Rest in peace Koko.
She is only the first....
I bet more apes are learning to communicate especially now with computers, tablets and AI
which have benefits (a supreme ability to be patient and ability to understand subtle nuisance expressed).
Yes once Apes learn to Google SEARCH....we could see even more amazing extensions of intelligent behaviour.
RIP

R.I.P koko we love you
Do not mourn. Though her body is long since dead, her spirit lives on in our memories, immortalized by the greatness of her accomplishments!
Koko being a cat lover is one of the best things I've ever learned. So so sad that she had to say goodbye prematurely.
I think she had a pretty average life span for a gorilla. I'm no expert, but I think they live to be about 40 or 50?

No animal is stupid. They all speak their own language. Its not their fault we don't understand them. Every animal understands feelings and body language.

But she doesnt need to cry because gorillas just dont do that, so it shouldnt be a problem for her that she cant cry.
I watched that girl grow up. Tho Michael was a sweetie, sad for his loss, loosing Koko was like loosing a member of my family. I've had many animals, I've a dog still @ 76, & I wish people would realize that they aren't just an 'animal'.....they would do quite well on this planet without us humans. I doubt we could do well without them.....obviously we haven't taken proper care of earth. Yet, animals, without our interference, did just fine b4 we came along.
We've much to learn from animals, not just about them.
HUGS2U ❤️
Many of us seem to forget that people are ‘animals’, too. Our existence is just more complicated with modern creations, but our raw, simple emotions aren’t any more sophisticated than other animals. Yes, we have complicated lives with work and entertainment, but don’t the so-called ‘lower’ animals lead complicated lives, too? Every day they must struggle for survival, hunt for their food, protect their young, build nests to shelter in, and imagine how critical every single choice is that they make. Surely it is miraculous that these other animals continue to survive despite our ‘intervention’ in their world, not because of it. The purity of their existence is enviable in many ways, and their intelligence is staggering.
@@EffieG-ez9tf very well said ❤️!
The fact that Koko could tell the lady about her mother dying , just shows how intelligent she really was .

I couldn't stop crying from that one, OMG . . . ! ! ! 😭 We call animals 'beasts', but it is we humans who are truly barbaric - to one another, to the animals, and to our environment.
It’s too sad...

R.I.P Michael you are truly missed on earth and i know you are getting all your mothers hugs in heaven now and from your best friend koko too .. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤
His story is so sad. That he could remember what happened to his mother and describe it is incredible, very sad that we as an intelligent species is still capable of such cruelty not only to other animals but to our own species as well. We still haven't learned from our past mistakes and judging from how we are going so far this year we aren't going to any time soon.
That's why the most dangerous beings in this planet is not some creatures or animals but humans
it would be amazing if koko had a bunch of baby gorillas and was able to teach them all sign language so there would be a lot of gorillas knowing sign language
saddest thing was that after finally getting pregnant she miscarried 😢. I know Koko's story, she wanted kids soo bad
I remember Koko. Video of her won the hearts of anyone who saw them. The fact that she wanted a pet of her own to love says everything.
Koko was a hero among hero’s. Robin William had a very happy look about him. Koko knew robin had sadness in him. Keep these themes coming
I know I think that’s amazing
We don't know if Koko knew Robin Williams was sad us humans didn't even know.
That was an amazing story, goes to show how animals are more intelligent than we think x

As a hearing individual who speaks American Sign Language, I personally wish I could have had a chat with Koko. I feel like it would have been a wonderful experience.
Koko has always been fascinating to me. I've been watching the Planet of the Apes trilogy with my 10 year old daughter and she didn't think apes could really use sign language to communicate. So I searched for Koko and showed her this video. She was amazing! Thanks for making this.

I really really wanted to see how she would raise her babies. If they were successful deliveries I would've refrained from teaching the baby ASL at first to see if Koko was capable of passing on her vocabulary to her young. Also, just studying how the baby developes the language on his own would be an amazing study. Eventually we can find a way to teach today's wild apes to communicate with not just humans but with each other and maybe it will give them a boost in evolution.
Cleaver
Funny that you should say this, because I was actually thinking the exact same thing. I’m surprised that they haven’t selected another ape and tried doing just this.
I always wanted to meet Koko and she made me smile so much, I cried so much when I found out she passed away. Rest in peace Koko, I hope my cat (Loki) is keeping you good company.❤
Robin Williams playing with Koko a giant gorilla is the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. I hope that wherever they are they can see one another. Also this looks like it was filmed on the set of trailer park boys.
The video of her and mr Rogers are even better.
I believe it was the only time Robin Williams seem to have left this world while simultaneously stayed in the world. It was pure and only others who have even for a minute have left earth while never going anywhere will understand what that means.
They both had big hearts.

Koko was definitely smart and construed the words she was signing but could also improvise and make words for us to understand her. Crazy Mike was younger but Koko out lived him by alot.

Yes some of the comments here are so dissapointing. We are not the only creatures who share our emotions. Or have the capability to learn another creatures language. Maybe that's one of God's big lessons for humanity. Almost ironic when you look how scripture is interpreted. As if humans are never falliable in our own understanding of the world. I see the understanding in these animals eyes. Not all animals. But many really seem to understand.

This is an important lesson and revelation to any animal lover. Anybody who has owned and loved a dog can testify that humans are not the only animal to feel and show complex emotion. One of my dogs could tell if I was sad and depressed even if I was doing my best to pretend otherwise.
I remember Koko on a documentary while she was still alive. I was blown away by her intelligence, especially her plea to the world about the damage man has done to the planet. Thank you for the reminder! It's such a shame that big business didn't take any notice of her plea.

Brilliant presentation. We had a family friend who worked on Project Koko at Stanford. She confirmed Coco’s empathy and creativity. There was apparently, even an instance of stolen cookies about which Coco was willing to fib. Overcoming academic presumption was gently accomplished by daily discovery, and self evident truth
Robin Williams' account on his "Live on Broadway" special of when he met koko is hysterical
For me, there is no doubt that animals have emotions. They know love and grief. I had two cats, Toby and Teddy, that were brothers and it seemed to me that they loved each other, always curling up together, sleeping together and licking each others heads, playing, etc. When Toby died I put him in a box and covered him with a towel before burying him. I wanted Teddy to know his brother had died so he would not wonder and look for him later, so I put him by Toby's box. Teddy sniffed a bit, then climbed into the box and laid on top of his dead brother while he made weak, coarse meows for an hour. It was an eerie sound I had never heard before. When I couldn't take it any more I went to take Teddy out of the box. He hissed at me. In 19 years Teddy had never once hissed, even when I gave him a bath or he got shots at the vet. I cried because I knew the meows and hissing were Teddies cries for his brother. I cried more for Teddy's loss than I did for my own. He eventually came to sit in my lap, and was especially insistent on hugs, and excessively licked my face and hands. He did not eat for two days. He would sometimes sit very still and make those same eerie sounds before going to sleep. If that is not grief, I don't know what is.
Eventually Teddy returned to being himself. He died two years later and was buried next to his brother Toby, separated only by a bag of cat treats and a fuzzy mouse.
Sorry for your loss. That's a really sweet story tho 💖💖
Reject humanity, embrace animals
Honestly, if humans have emotions I'm sure animals have as well
I thought it was obvious animals had feelings it was just things at the intelligence level of like snakes or somthin dont
No offense, but I hope you washed your hands after all the licking. He was snuggling up to a corpse before that
It'd probably be a good thing if we taught more gorillas among other apes how to talk to us, that way they could communicate to us their thoughts and feelings, as well as, over time, get the general population to think of them more highly.
Yeah! If we kept teaching them. We could even communicate as normal.monkeys to humans!
That would mean that we have to learn a new language, sign language, if we want to communicate with them. (If this ever happens.)
@@Angelica-cj5wf Personally, I think a universal sign language would be super useful not only for talking to gorillas, but other people.
@@Ivy-dd8bf Yup, I agree. (I don't think I need to say more.)
That's how to get planet of the apes
As a dude who grew up in florida, I can definitely confirm Koko is smarter than half the people here
The short term memory of a gorilla is something almost unbelievable. They can almost photographically remember complex patterns at just a glance. Absolutely amazing.
Animals are not that dumb, I talk to my pets all the time and in their own way they talk too. This is just an example that they can learn foreign languages too.
That last part made me cry.
Cats meow cause we speaking to them
My cats sing whenever i sing
no one said they were dumb, but you have to be dumb yourself to believe koko actually learned a foreign language. She performed signs based on cues. That is all. She never understood the meaning behind the signs, and she certainly could not make sentences out of them. That is why the video is edited so many times when she is saying man dumb, fix earth.
@@yuunpaan580 sign for Apple she dont understand Apple?
@@molamolamola5588 Simple things such as seeing an apple and being able to make the sign for 'apple' do not constitute an understanding of communicating through language. She is not capable of making a string of signs that forms the sentence "I like apples because they are juicy and crunchy." Unless she is specifically taught how to do that, even if you taught her each individual sign to form that sentence she would not know how to put them together, because she simply knows what sign correlates to what cue. She can not communicate with our language. The signs are simply like a dog learning "sit" for a treat, there is nothing more to this.
Imagine being the child of Koko's owner and loving Koko for the rest of your life coz u were born with her. And u loved gorillas. Bruh
Just stfu
wat
What
Koko human koko have no owner
Wtf. I think you were raised by apes because that english was not understandable in the slightest.
Koko has shown us that we are animals with emotions ❤ Love gorillas...🦍Especially, Koko ❤
Imagine she could have passed the torch down and tought her children how to use sign language, rip koko.
In response to the question about her recognizing Robin Williams, I believe she did. Koko is one of the few animals to pass the mirror test . The mirror test, for those who don't know, is a test to see if an animal can recognize their reflection and since she knows what a picture it I believe it is fair to say that she recognized Robin on the movie cover.
But what's so sad. Koko can pass the mirror text whereas some humans can not. Now that's something to worry about. A Gorilla smarter than some humans. Dame!
I totally agree!
@JohnBrown-hl4cy A walnut is more intelligent than some humans.
In these 24 minutes I’ve come to love Koko and legit cried when you said she died
You truly are a man of respect
Myself too...I felt connected and sad for Kokos passing.
May monke go to heaven
If koko had had kids and taught them for them to teach there kids and so on could have been amazing, Michael too. It's a shame neither had children. What an amazing pair rip.
As we grow up and hear our family members talking we learn to communicate. So I believe she could understand. R.I.P too Koko, Betty white and Robin. I wish she could of had a baby, she was so gentle and loving. They do have like 98% DNA as us so it’s really not hard to believe.
could've*
Just the fact that Koko knew to hide under the cover and the fact that they were playing hide and seek in the first place is already so amazing
my cat basically went into the neighbors who also had a cat’s house and manage to find where the cat food was based on where the cat food in my house was.
Do you know why we are so amazed when animals are smart? Because we like to assume that they are stupid.
I read about a cat who used to go out his cat door at night and go in the cat doors of other cats to steal toys.
I can't believe a gorilla has more life story than me😂
Koko: I can speak to humans
Person: so are you able to get a job?
Koko: *ooo ooo aaa aaa*
Koko got into Stanford and most humans can't smh
Rip Koko and Mike. Beautiful smart loving souls. I'm sure Koko and Robin Williams (and Mike) have revisited in heaven. ❤🐵
RIP Harambe
Did you just..
Disrespect Hurambe?
FBI OPEN UP
Michael*
And Apple and Ball.
Robin Williams and Coco make both you and that beautiful gorilla rest in peace
Imagine they manage to teach another gorilla how to do sign language and they actually manage to reproduce and teach them how to sign as well
