THE MOST LOVING GORILLA: THE STORY OF KOKO
Few animals have ever touched human hearts like Koko, the western lowland gorilla who learned sign language—and showed the world just how deep a gorilla’s love can go.
💞 A Heart Bigger Than the Jungle
Adopted a kitten & named him All Ball (because he looked like a tiny, furry ball).
Cried when told he died, signing "Bad, sad, cry."
Asked for another cat—and fell in love with Lipstick and Smoky, treating them like her own babies.
🤗 More Love Than Most Humans
Hugged strangers who were sad.
Told her human friend, Dr. Penny Patterson, "You are my mom."
Gently played with kids, signing "Love you."
💔 The World Mourned Her Passing (2018)
When Koko died at 46, millions grieved. But her legacy lives on—proof that love isn’t human… it’s universal.
Final Thought?
If a gorilla can show this much tenderness, maybe humans have no excuse. 🦍❤️
