With a sign language vocabulary of more than a 1,000 words and the ability to understand thousands more, Koko was a scientific marvel and source of wonder for decades. The Western Lowland gorilla, who died this week at the age of 46, captured the world’s attention not just for her communication skills, but also for her displays of human-like emotions. Anthony Mason reports.

This celebrity death has been by far the saddest and most unforgettable one of them all. His death makes me so terribly sad. And to see this, it just melts my heart.

@leonardphilippgaffke2490 5 лет назад

Bubble Tea Bee i am not totally agree with you. In my experience, all animals be able to feel emotions like joy, love, anger, fear, or sadness. But only Koko whas be able to tell us about her feelings, needs and personal point of view, so precise. No other animal could keep up with her. In that respect, she was completely unique. And of course she was completely unique because she had her own personalitie and a big heart to.
