Robin Williams made Koko the gorilla laugh for the first time in six months after she lost her childhood friend.

Koko is said to have signed “tear” when she heard that Robin Williams had died in 2014.

We loved how funny he was, and his act made us laugh out loud. Robin Williams was famous as an actor, but what people really liked about him was how humble he was. This was something that everyone around him felt. When he met Koko the gorilla for the first time, he realized that even animals felt it.

It became famous that Koko could learn a form of American Sign Language (ASL) and talk to her handlers in a way that not many other apes could. In 2001, Robin Williams was asked to meet her and talk with her. They got along almost right away.

At the beginning of the video, Williams talks about his meeting with the monkey. “I had an amazing conversation with a gorilla not long ago.” Her name is Koko.”

When they met, Koko was still sad about the death of her childhood friend, Michael the gorilla, who had died six months before. There were rumors that she hadn’t been keeping well until the meeting with Williams.

In the video, Robin Williams is sitting in a chair while he waits for Koko to come in. She sits down on the floor next to him and takes his hand when the gorilla walks into the room. The actor gets up from his place and sits down next to her. It looks like they are interested in each other and laughing at each other.

“Notice that Robin made Koko smile—something she hadn’t done in over six months since her childhood gorilla partner, Michael, died at the age of 27,” said Francine Patterson, Koko’s mom.

The actor clearly put the gorilla at ease right away. Koko even tries to put on the actor’s glasses. At one point, the ape went through his pockets and took all of his money.

Patterson wrote that it was amazing and memorable how Robin could just “hang out” with Koko, a gorilla, and become one of her best friends in minutes. “But Robin didn’t just make Koko feel better; the effect was two-way, and Robin seemed changed.”

Their friendship is beautiful to look at. He or she felt the same way. “We only had one thing in common: we both laughed.” He said that Koko can hear spoken English and uses more than 1,000 words to talk about everyday things, life, love, and even death.

Koko is said to have signed “tear” when she heard that Robin Williams had died in 2014.

It was at the San Francisco Zoo that Koko was born. She lived most of her time in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where The Gorilla Foundation in Woodside, California, took care of her.

Because she was born in a zoo, Koko was raised and cared for by people. Koko’s caretaker, Francine Patterson, said she knew about 1,000 syllables of Gorilla Sign Language, which is a simplified form of American Sign Language.

She could also understand about 2,000 spoken English words. Patterson, who was Koko’s teacher, said that her IQ was about the same as a human toddler’s who is 3 years old.

There were many reasons why Koko was special. People knew that the ape cared about other animals, liked to argue, and liked to joke around and insult others. Patterson said, “Koko has made us, her human friends, aware not only that her breed is smart, but also that it shares a sensitivity that most people think is unique to people.”

When National Geographic put a picture of Koko taking a picture of herself in the mirror on the cover of their 1978 issue, the whole world knew about her.

Also, Koko was one of the few monkeys that was known to have a pet. In the 1980s, Koko picked out a gray kitten and called her All-ball. “The cat was a Manx and it looked like a ball,” said Ron Cohn, a scientist at the organization. “Koko likes making sign language words rhyme.”

CheatSheet says that Koko raised All-ball like he was her own child and played with him for at least an hour every day. That wasn’t the end of it, though. She used the cat as an excuse when she took the sink off the wall. “A piece in Popular Science about Koko says that Koko used the kitten as an excuse when she did something wrong. For example, Koko tore a steel sink off the wall, pointed at All Ball, and wrote “cat did it.”

The picture of Koko holding the kitten is one of the most moving ones showing love between two animals.
