Koko and Kittens through the Years Create Empathy 

Koko wanted so badly to be a mom and instead she turned into a crazy cat lady...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Imagine Koko became a proud mom and teaches her baby the sign language. This would be a world changing man made evolution.

When Koko started crying for her kitten loss I really felt her pain, these animals have emotions just like us.

So sad about hearing of Koko's passing June 19, 2018. We should all say a prayer for this amazing gentle creature that taught us so much about gorillas and their feelings. Penny, my heart goes out to you.

she try to teach the cat to recognize himself in the mirror, amazing.

And some people call them dumb animals.... Animals put most of us humans to shame.

Koko had more empathy than most humans..... RIP angel. Koko love. ❤

This is basically the most heart warming thing you can ever see. If you dislike this, you have lost your soul.

I disagree with the people saying this is imprisonment. koko is a gorilla and the gorilla population is becoming smaller and more in danger. It is safer for her where she is. She is in a loving environment where she is gaining skills that are amazing. just because shes not in the jungle doesn't mean she is a prisoner.

The first loss part... I lost it. All the tears.

aww, I wish Koko could have her own baby. She'll be the most adorable mama on earth for sure.

For the strength a gorilla has she is exceptionally gentle with her cats. RIP Koko, you will never be forgotten my sweet. Lots of love from the world. ❤️🇬🇧🌍

I wish they would give her, her own orphaned gorilla. That's really what she wants is her own baby to teach & love.

Even though I have seen the footage of Koko when her kitten died many times, I cry every single time… so much love ❤

Adorable! Poor kitties at the start are like wtf help me... She's so gentle with them.... Compared to what most cruel humans would do!

Anybody that watched Coco grow couldn't help but love her when she passed it was a sad thing very sad

I totally just realized that Koko is just as much of a crazy cat lady as me. lol! It's adorable.

Awww. KoKo sure is missed. She was a darling..she loved her little cats...☺️

I know that Kokos' life has been very educational for humans, but all this gentle giant wants is a natural life with children and other gorilllas. I have watched her vids from the beginning many years ago and feel amazed and humbled and achingly sad.

Koko so smart to dip down EXTRA low to make sure kitty wasn't wiped off her back.

Koko is at least with her cats very bright and smart always learned alot from her you will be missed thanks koko. Joe

Whenever I see Disney's Tarzan I think of Koko. I can see her being the gentle gorilla mother and taking care of the little, helpless human baby :)

Господи,сколько же любви у живатных,и сколько же вы им дали,спасибо вам

At least koko is with her cats and friend robin Williams such smart and intelligent animals always learning something new each day from koko and the gorillas thanks RIP koko you will be missed thanks you are one of a kind ever you mean well ! Joe

Koko was a crazy cat lady just like so many of us.

God bless you, dear Koko. I grew up loving you and excited to hear your stories through the years. Beautiful girl, beautiful Soul. Kittens are just the best, I agree with you! Thank you, Koko and Penny for sharing your lives with us. Rest in eternal peace, Sweet girl. Say Hello to All-Ball. ❤️🕊🕯✨🐾🌎🐾💫🕯🕊❤️

I have watched a lot of koko videos and she seems happy with her life. She is so smart! In one video she turns away from a sad part in her favorite movie. Her name is short for something that means fireworks. She was born on July 4th.

I grew up watching Koko as a kid such a shame she passed away You will be missed Koko. And you're now reunited with Mr Rogers and Robin Williams

Such love is what make the world a beautiful place.💛

The love an compassion these magnificent animal has

This is so amazing and at the same time, so heartbreaking. I want her to have a family and a big piece of property to roam around on...still I know she's loved and well taken care of...but the intelligence makes it hard for that to be enough I think.

There's just never one minute where they think this gorilla is going to do anything but love

Why do I watch this while I'm alone at night? It turns me into a pile of tear-soaked mush. :)

Aww that's so sweet. For such a large animal with so much strength she is so gentle.

Can I get rid of all you human beings please because youve proved to me over the years that Ive been alive what you are capable of and how terribly you are prepared to treat each other - Can I join the animal kingdom now, I think Id genuinely rather live with koko and her kind. It seems a more peaceful and straight forward world than the one human beings have constructed.

I want nothing more in life than to help these beautiful beings

Koko showing the kitten in the mirror was so darn cute

shoutout to koko hope she gets that dream baby!

KOKO was a Wonderful Loving mother

I legit cried without noticing. What a wonderful creature.

I miss Koko. Hope Koko has lots of kitties in heaven🙉❤🐈🐱

She is a most beautiful mother in the world

Koko would of made a wonderful awesome mother as she was so good to her kittens and they loved her and she loved them back.

It's so precious how gentle she is with them, but if I were that kitten I'd be FREAKING OUT! lol

Koko will be such a great mother! I really hope she'll get a baby soon! I'd be so happy for her I'd cry.

omg this is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a very long time. Teared up when they told him the kitten died. :(

It amazes me how gentle and loving she is, yet, there's humans out there who hurt and abuse animals.

It amazes me how she knows signs for things, puts humans to shame how they can learn our ways so well .xx

Im crying now 😢 even though i i didn’t meet koko, but I feel her love and sincerity more than human 😭

She's beautiful. A treasure.

I was soooo heart broken when I heard of Kokos passing, it surely should've been national news! I'd only hoped she would've been allowed to have more than one pet, I think she longed for a baby. But, having many pets/ friends would've eased her want. From videos it was as if she wasn't trusted to be alone with kittens or others cuz of trust issues. Yet, she knew to even duck lower while kitten on her back, the owner saw kitten would not hit metal, yet still hovered over them. I see she wasn't given enough credit for being more capable, compassionate & smarter than lots of pet owners.

Koko was a sweet loving and amazing gorilla. Why didn't she ever become a mother? Rest in peace beautiful sweetheart

What a warm, ❤️ loving relationship Dr Patterson had with this beautiful Gorilla..How sad it was when Dr Patterson informed Koko that “ All Ball the cat” passed away. Too hear Koko cry was a little too much for me. Seems like gorillas have the ability and share the exact same emotions as us humans. Once in a lifetime experience.. RIP. Koko.

After watching koko I know she is more humble than human...we are greedy but they are happy with mother nature..!!!

*KOKO LOVE* has to be the one saying she does that makes my heart melt every time! Can’t believe how much emotion this beautiful species has!

Merry Christmas Koko. I love you!

Its so amazes me to see this huge enormous animal so powerful in strength could be so gentle with a baby kitten it blows my mind so sweet

Thanks for posting! It's so refreshing to see Koko and the kittens. I hope you can add more new videos in the months to come.

This truly is beautiful to watch...Animals are amazing ..Brings tears to my eyes. .Very touching..Nature is so beautiful💕💕💕💖💖💖

She’s so gentle handling the kittens

This hit a certain heart string. Omg.. Im going to cry then smile..then cry..excuse me while i look crazy

How Tender Koko is!! Very Gentle.😸😺😼 Beautiful Koko😟❤️you Koko.

Koko shares such a good bond with kittens true friendship more than human being loyal

Never have I ever wanted to hug an animal that could crush me like a empty soda can more than now

i honestly agree with you on that point :) bet it would grow up to be a better person than most children do lately

So many emotions watching this.

She shows love more then most humans do.

Why does Koko remind me of my mother and her love for felines? Thank you for sharing this! She handles them better than most people do :) Beautiful

I love you ko ko u ur better more then human begin

I actually cried at this video!

The end of the video with the kitten on her back was too adorable! She was very careful, she ducked down.

I don't like to see look vids because I always end up crying!!! I love koko!!!

RIP Koko and her family

so sweet. Would love to see more videos of Koko today.

Thank you so much for sharing this compilation video. I so hope that Koko is able to enjoy a Gorilla baby soon, even if as an aunt. I wish I were rich so I could donate to help her. Thank you also for showing people what I have always known; animals are as smart, if not smarter, than people and mammals have all the same emotions. That's what I believe. Thank you again, and please give Koko a kiss for me. Ann

I am more amazed with each video !

um what happened to all the cats? they live a long time, like 15+ years, where did they all go? why would they have to keep getting more?

This is just so beautiful.

I remember koko! It was wonderful and heart watming🤔☺

Koko is so adorrable i nearlg cried in the one when her kitten died if the haters gona hate then hate but she is one strong caring lovable gorilla and if yous dont like her dont like me

Please treat all animals with respect and love. They are capable of emotions just like us if not, more than us.

Pretty interesting that the kittens never seem scared or bothered by being handled by a gorilla, especially since they’ve probably never seen one before. Then again we rarely realize just how odd it must be from the animals perspective, and how they can be so chill with humans touching them all the time. If a giant ape monster 10x my size tried to pick me up and pet me I’d freak out.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!😇😇😇

Omg! Koko is a sweet heart! So smart!!

this poor gorila all his life in captivity

I don't care if koko really even knew what she was signing all the time , she's just the sweetest creature on this planet

Fascinating!

You can tell clearly through her signing she was frustrated and sad at the same time.

All ball... All tears for that man...

It made me cry to see her sad than I cried because she was happy

I will love u FOREVER Koko !!!😍😍😍😻😻😻

Ohhh that's so absolutely heartbreaking that the kitten died

where exactly are all the kittens going!!!

Koko est plus Humain que des milliards d'Humains !!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍K

she wants a baby so bad its heart breaking to see her not have the baby her heart wants more than anything. i hope she gets a baby. and beyond that i hope that she has more than one baby and than 1 be her offspring because she is so special her line should be preserved

They need to stay, Don't leave her alone, Everyone needs to be able to hold someone they love.!

Mamma mia! Quanto è commovente vedere una creatura così imponente così dolce verso un micino! Imparare da loro! Amarli e rispettarli!

So beautiful 💖

reminded me of my cat that lived for 22 years and seemed to be immortal to me. I have never recovered. and the concept of owning more and more pets is impossible to me

Like how she dipped down through the door way for the kitty lol
