Koko Reads Animalia

[VanillaNukaCola]

the next day Koko tried to paint her kitty pink :P

[goldeneagle452]

Amazing!

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

does she understand where gorillas come from? does she know how far away she is from africa?

[Paschal58]

I read that Koko has a nipple fetish and that Doctor Patterson forced her female employees to flash their tits at Koko.

[semangat45]

I HOPE THE 1 PERSON WHO DISLIKE THIS VIDEO AND ANY FUTURE PEOPLE DISLIKING THIS VIDEO BURNS IN HELL!!!! HOW COULD U DISLIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!

[dani2314a]

Koko is seriously one of the most amazing creatures I've ever seen. I'm no scientist, but the work with Koko fascinates me.

[hotchocolate1913]

where can you go and meet koko???

[metallavery]

@hotchocolate1913 Koko live in the private house like lab. It would be difficult. But if you knew some people and puled some strings. You could do it.

[crazyguy1913]

I get mad to when no one puts anything in my cards lol

[ilo997]

smarter than my sis XD

[wolfgangouille]

Has she met other Gorillas and try to teach them sign language?

[keithosmarferrer]

@wolfgangouille i have heard of nim the chimp have teached other chimps sign language

[keithosmarferrer]

@wolfgangouille but koko have teached other gorilla as well, e.g Michael and Ndume

[Qstyles18]

Koko, I love you! 

[Sparklytank]

Koko is so sweet.

[dale3858]

I'm usually a very unhappy person, but all I can do is smile when I watch Koko...

[bigstepper88]

awwww :) koko loves cats :D

[GunFuryx75]

i would love to spend time with koko ..not behind a cage either she's so peaceful

[shittykittyification]

Koko makes me happy:)

[SuprMexicanLuis]

shes smarter than a mexican immagrant

[CliffyEmAll]

@AWadesTheBestVideos Left to right dude...

[radajan]

Gorillas are heavily endangered animals in some of the poorest regions of Africa, where human growth and poaching are a real threat. Hopefully their future will be secured

[J5MARLON]

0:18 Wow gorillas...Koko: F those Gorrilas, Jerks.

[AWadesTheBestVideos]

you could at least teach her to read from right to left. come on now

[NickKingThe1st]

@AWadesTheBestVideos perhaps she thinks its manga

[webyourstuff1]

Has Koko ever been to visit a zoo?

[mrkoolkatt69]

I think she licked the card because she understood that you have to lick the envolope to seal it... Any one agree. Oh well koko is so cute i wish i could meet her

[BasicEvil18]

"There's a card for you!"

"LETS TASTE IT!"

[DylAlitY]

Oh! I got a card!

>.>

<.<

/lick :3

[GeneralCane]

She looks through that picture book at about the same rate I look through Game Informer.

[EthanNin0]

I wonder if you could teach Koko the basics of evolution.

[Floydzkrieg]

@EthanNin0 I think the main obstacle would be trying to convey the sheer amount of time involved. How do you explain the concept of hundreds of millions of years to a gorilla?

[meiyuc22]

she appear to be clean and neat

[AquaCivic1]

Penny, i think you are an amazing person. Your bond with Koko is unbelievable, and its so strong! 

[d809]

It's such a shame that gorillas are about to be extincted... because of humans.

[Amberdragons]

love hthat book



[prophetsofpenance]

if we didnt fuck nature wed be dead

[zacheryMjefferson]

"um...no money?!"

[BootyClapEnt]

She was reading the book backwards, like a boss.

[Killman1134]

Why yes. She looks like she would totally last in the wild with hunters and loggers all over the place. Koko seems quite contempt in this environment. And she doesn't have poachers coming for her head. Use your brain people.

[SuperTonyony]

@Killman1134 "Content".

[sonichedgie]

very cute if she sat on library leafing book .

[chwatermelon]

Penny has the best job

[chrisot123]

OMG. The way she turns the pages...

[dale3858]

@chrisot123 Just like a person, incredible...

[AvidAstronomer]

She was so disappointing when she saw that there was nothing edible in the card.

[BigNeonGlitterGirl]

KoKo needs her own TV show.

[1971SuperLead]

@BigNeonGlitterGirl She's so sweet. I want to hug her!

[drskltl]

she really is an amazing creature :)

[munchkinsmomable]

*through (not threw) lol

[munchkinsmomable]

The way she opens up the card like we do, (sort of), takes it out of the envelope like we do, looks at the card, like we do, and then smells and tastes it, as an ape would do.I love that. There's something so humbling about it. Like, she knows what it says just threw those actions.

[munchkinsmomable]

You know the old question "Who do you really want to meet before your life ends?" There's my answer right up there! :D

[munchkinsmomable]

lol I though she licked her finger before turning the page when she signed for "red."

[ToTirDeKK]

hahahaha when she said "WOW GORILLAS, ARE TOSE GORILLAS ? :D"

koko was like "not interested."

[AguilaJR]

The smartest female I've ever seen.. amazing!!! :D

[GUITARDUDE130]

does anyone else want to be friends with that person

[jstreets21]

since they say humans came from a monkey ancestor related to chimps wat if, and i mean wat if chimps eventually evolve into a different kind of intelligence? that would be crazy to inteligent beings not entirely the same but closely related on one planet! wow thats almost like if an alien species landed here and decided to inhabit the earth with us

[huesitocascado]

es muy hermosa, la amoooooooo!!!

[apspacking]

Koko I love you.

[willbraham]

I know this is off topic, but the more I see beautiful videos about great apes and the intelligence of animals, I come to the conclusion that Bigfoot, or an extremely Intelligent ape can elude humanity for the most part and remain active in the wild.

[lapugenero]

This is too cool for words. I never knew gorillas were such fascinating creatures. We truly are of the same family!

[longfootbuddy]

@willbraham bigfoot doesnt like zoos, guns, or laboratories

[hamstergirl591]

I think it's funny how much she seems to like the word "fake" :3 And when she tastes the card it makes me think of when a person opens a card and hopes for money.

[FrenchBulldogWinston]

Koko just skips the gorillas realy fast.

[brewerbrian420]

She is smarter than most of the creationists I run across. lol

[TheGilmer]

@brewerbrian420 Hahaha! Best comment ever!

[xZHRx]

@brewerbrian420 lol 

[cubanboy740]

Koko loves cats! 

[47lionking]

give that gorilla a cat...

[Z6U6Z6U]

@47lionking she had a kitten, died in a car crash... you should watch the video it's the saddest thing on earth

[Free4it]

does koko get smarter after every year?

[AssistingHealth]

@Free4it probably more like a human... so, dumber.

[Free4it]

@AssistingHealth what.. he can't get dumber after every year.. he so mutch smarter the in the 70s

[joemcbobinite]

@Free4it it depends on her activities, if she was to stop learning and interact in that way then she would probably forget some of the signs less used.they are like us, we dont get dumber with time, unless not stimulated in an educational way, she may be near her learning capacity since she has learned SO many things already but she can still learn new things.

[CutieeTeukiee]

Till now I still can't believe that is a real

Gorilla is that real? Omg O.o

[bosozoku1000]

@CutieeTeukiee

Yeah she is real.

[BuffaloWarrior7]

I think its a man in a gorilla suit. IT really is amazing how articulate these animals are.

[DSRvmv111]

I HAVE THAT BOOOOOOOK!!!

[deathstarlover]

if she loves the taste of the sticky stuff you lick on the envelope then she's not alone lol

[Webkinzgirlio87]

I love how Koko keeps licking the envelope and then licks the card.

[mchelo18]

it's a human being in a different format.

[allylovedance]

this gorrila should be out in the wild interacting with other gorrilas , animals are not made for this

[ZenJestr]

@allylovedance and humans are not meant to go to the moon, manipulate "metal birds" that allow them to fly across the world, go into the depths of the ocean, drink soda, drink alcohol, eat stuff like candy, split atoms to use as weapons that can negatively terraform the planet, and communicate with other members of their own species across the globe and watch a flat surface that emits light that shows them the image of a gorilla reading a book either....

[nabtogo]

@ZenJestr lol'

[xXP1RaT3]

@ZenJestr we're meant to do whatever the FUCK we wanna dooooo.

[d809]

@xXP1RaT3 Tell that to the rapists, murderers and pedophiles victims...

[xXP1RaT3]

@d809 thats freedom baby!

[d809]

@xXP1RaT3 One person's freedom ends where another person's freedom begins.

[xXP1RaT3]

@d809 only by law.

[felix8989]

@xXP1RaT3 Everyone has a moral responsibility to know the boundaries of their freedom, and if they knowingly overstep them they no longer deserve that freedom.

[JLPuffums]

@ZenJestr look how well that worked out for us

[asands123]

i read that book, loved it

[floridaman2000]

the woman laughs at everything the gorilla does its not THAT funny

[AnimalLover24561]

@floridaman2000 you're gay

[Rarez2]

wow i cant believe this to be real but it is. amazing videos. keep uploading em :)

[PopoloCanaglia]

1:31 Sorry, i got too many turds for brunch.

[VibrantCompromise]

I have a new found love for Gorillas.

[bigcrapper96]

When an 800 pound gorilla has you by the tits, you listen!

[tyman354]

i xd at the part of the card

[S8S5S8]

It's lovely how her favorite picture was the cats, and she even kissed the page. She's so...human, for lack of a better word.

She seems more like a human old lady than like the idea we commonly have of what a gorilla would be like.

[hamstergirl591]

*Lick* *opens the envelope* *Lick* *pulls out the card and reads it* *...Lick*

Lol while I usually check cards for money, she's a smart lady. The second most important thing is if it's edible.

[jdlaw001]

Do female gorillas have menstrual cycles?

[KellyySue143]

@jdlaw001 Yes, just like all other female mammals.

[Xytos]

hahaha he looks like beast from xmen, except 100 times dumber.

[iAMnoxon]

you're reading it from the wrong side you dump ape

[hamstergirl591]

@iAMnoxon

No... She's just reading it Japanese style :D

[Cai1a]

They should teach her how to use a pencil so she could try drawing.

[reddragonace]

@Cai1a They have. She draws.

[MasterGiegue]

@Cai1a

If you watch more videos of her, she draws alot/eats her markers and turns her mouth funny colours

[delta1o1]

Was that a burp?? 1:30 xD

[1974pallmall]

how cute

[1hlynur]

*licks card*

[RedBullGivesYouWIngs]

There's another video on here where she learns the word for butterfly. Someone shows her a picture of a garden and she says "Flowers, grass. but fake!" XD Its great! Then she learns Butterfly. She's a remarkable animal, but I'm sure that many gorillas have the same potential. :) I love these creatures!! They're amazing!

[salvolondon]

she loves cats,they are her favorite animals

[karlkarlkarl1234]

@salvolondon

Yeah that's what absolutely shocked and baffled me in a pleasant way is that if you watch the other videos of Koko, she becomes really attached to her pet kittens, and she obviously could see that there were cats in that picture and that's why she chose it as her favorite. So adorable!

[metalstylex]

koko must read playboy magazin

[salvolondon]

@metalstylex she is a girl

[sirbestnameever]

u could teach a gorrila to read couldnt you and if you could do that they might learn about religon and wars and stuff

[Phelan666]

Been goin through these vids, and Koko seems kinda lonely to me.

[LaurenAnyone]

I love how when Penny says "you have your finger in his mouth! Be careful!" Koko was like, "uhhh... The alligator is fake..."

[InYourFaceNewYorker]

How do you think gorillas in the zoo feel about being gawked at all day? Watching Koko has really made me think about that. Do you think it's humiliating to them?

[socialnenvjustice]

Why did she cover her face?

[paola84545]

What a beautiful animal, I am amaze

[stevietsuvideos]

lol at 0:31 i thought she was licking her finger to turn the page!

[LozTheAtheist]

Why would anyone give a thumbs down? go get a life! Loz

[XxImpactXGreatest]

It'll be a sad day when Koko dies she's changed the world in so many ways, from acting like a real human doing things we do and well why not add her cute kitties. I love Koko

[mrpayne123]

Koko's a polite legend!

[HaniiPuppy]

What a magnificent creature :)

[TheRallycrossKing]

OMG! how is koko SO SMART!?!? find your favorite picture and goes straight to the red cats haha why dont they get koko another kitten?

[JohnFuckingLennon]

I wonder if she ever feels patronized?

[mpd19666]

Kokos like i wanted a fucking banana not a damn card lol

[astronautonomicron]

2:05 - 2:15 holy crap she loves kittens

[jigglemaster7]

koko owns

[Yusrararts]

poor koko sitting in an office while others play and jump in the jungle..... too sad

[sugarplumapathy]

I wonder that if Koko has a baby, would she try to teach it sign language? I think that would be very interesting.

I also wonder if eyesight of gorillas is about the same as humans?

lol @Downfader1

[BenjaminBattington]

@sugarplumapathy Actually, they tried to test just that, but unfortunately she would not mate with the male they selected for her.

[callistafink]

Wait . . . why is a gorilla sitting in an office, and not in her natural or a psuedo-natural environment? She's not a baby, a toy, or a dog. She's a wild animal, and should be raised as such.

[eatcarpet]

Damn she flips through pages just like a human. It just goes to show that we are not super advanced or unique in this planet.

[VjerniBosanac]

you people make me laugh ahahah! ok the ape is remarkable i understand, but damn lay off i'm pretty sure she got beaten regularly thats why she shows RON the scary aligator with the open mouth-BECAUSE HE YELLS AT HER!

[nuggbubbler]

@VjerniBosanac

there's no way anybody is gonna show any aggression to that gorilla. if so, they got some real balls.

[Thingamajigs]

Haha, she burped.

[horseluver423]

wait did koko pass away?

[hobbitbuddy]

No, Koko is alive. She is 39 years old.

[Downfader1]

nice tits

[Blendre]

I love Koko

[greengrendel]

Silly Koko you're licking it upside down! ...

:)

[MrRedeyedJedi]

A truely remarkable animal.. it's sad how someone could get away with murdering this animal with no charge - its discusting.

[diwataholic]

it amazes me how she scans the pages just like a person would do :)

[benerban]

@diwataholic yeah it's the same in both function and appearance... she's actually looking at the pictures and absorbing the content just like we do. The only difference is that she's going from the end of the book to the front :P

[AutoTom]

@diwataholic probably faster.. of the limited things koko can do.. she's faster at them than a human

[Splortched]

This is so sad because Koko remembers her cat that was run over. That's why she likes the cat picture so much.

[ThyMajesticOne]

Yeah it's like, everything that Ive been taught in school tries to tell me that it's a human wearing a costume. LOL! I love animals, or rather, other individuals.

[katrinamelody]

I find this just incredible. What an amazing creature.

[TheTrueNinja12]

@katrinamelody She's more person than creature.
