Sweet.

Years ago, Koko had a visit or a number of them with Robin Williams. Koko met with a number of celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Peter Gabriel and others. [/URL] Gorilla's are smarter than most thought. Congrats to the the unit for teaching Koko Sign Language. :up: Sadly, Koko passed at 46 in July of 2018.

:sign_yeah:^Koko passed the primate Mirror Self Recognition (MSR)test at age 19!!...these days I see myself in the mirror and, at first, think....DADDY??!!:k_confused:At age 19, Koko was able to pass the mirror test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test) of self-recognition, which most other gorillas fail...Very few species have passed the MSR test. As of 2015, only great apes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ape) (including humans), a single Asiatic elephant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_elephant), dolphins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphins), orcas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orcas), and the Eurasian magpie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_magpie) have passed the MSR test. A wide range of species have been reported to fail the test, including several species of monkey, giant pandas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_panda), sea lions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_lion), and dogs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog).
