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. 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 of self-recognition, which most other gorillas fail...Very few species have passed the MSR test. As of 2015, only great apes (including humans), a single Asiatic elephant, dolphins, orcas, and the 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, sea lions, and dogs.
