Koko's 42nd Birthday (July 4, 2013)

Koko had a magnificent birthday celebration, thanks to lots of love from her caregivers and supporters. In addition to great presents, great company, a game-decorated environment and a birthday feast complete with vegan birthday cake and candles, Koko received thousands of birthday cards, both physical and via the internet. Thank you for sending your love to a gorilla ambassador whose favorite sign is "Koko-Love."

    theprivateer83 well no also gorillas speak with gestures and you can clearly see that she isn't interested in dolls (anymore) she reacted different when she met the kittens for example. In some ways there's a universal language that both human and animals can understand. If you live with animals for a lonh time you know that. And it's just not natural for gorillas to play with dolls they want to have real kids and family and friends and you can kinda see that. especially for gorillas as they are somewhat similar to humans.

    Anyone can see Koko isn't impressed with baby doll toys and children's books for her birthday. She still looks sad overall. Can somebody, (anybody) out there with money please make this great ambassador the real habitat enclosure she deserves? She comes from a humid tropical rain forest jungle full of leafy green plants, vines and trees. Creating this atmosphere for her to spend time in might be challenging but a very worthwhile and noble endeavor to actually make her happy.

I'm just bugged by all those multi millionaires and billionaires out there who could do something worthwhile with their money and easily help this among greatest of animals on the planet have an enclosure she deserves. Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Floyd Mayweather, this is a friendly gorilla that is directly communicating with humans using sign language. This world-famous animal is also displaying many emotions very similar to ours. I think we can help her with the sadness one.

    cliff curtis Yes, unfortunately though since she has been famous as a "talking gorilla" for 40 years now and many celebrities have met her and love her and they've been fund-raising for decades, my hopes are slim that they will get that Maui sanctuary up and running anytime soon (at least not before poor Koko passes, as she has pretty much reached the maximum lifespan of a gorilla). What's worse, she has no kids to carry on in her name and hasn't even had the joy of taking care of a baby gorilla or other ape (or even held/bonded with one). That's all she's ever wanted and they've known that for years but still, decades later, she live childless in the same trailer she's been in since the 1970s. I can't bear to think she will leave this world without us ever seeing her with a baby or on a sanctuary or something to end a remarkable life. They even decided that no other gorillas will be taught to sign again, so enjoy her while you can because she's one of a kind. : (

    SWLinPHX It IS extremely sad and Koko's "owners" should be ashamed. Reminds me of what happened to Flipper the Dolphin. Selfish owners just can't let go of their valuable celebrity wild animals to the point they end up confined in pathetically small enclosures their whole life and dying miserably. Someone could hand me a million for Koko's enclosure and I'd have it completed in six months. A giant caged greenhouse or atrium full of tropical plants and a circulating stream. There'd be misters and humidifiers and even a retractable roof for direct sunlight. Nothing too difficult about it at all. MGM Grande in Las Vegas used to have a lion exhibit. It was taken out and the Lions were retired to a place called "Lion Habitat Ranch". Sounds good doesn't it?... It's only called "Lion Habitat Ranch" because they (quote) "support Lion habitats in Africa" whatever that means.

    I can understand what you mean. I think Koko's life would be improved greatly if they could successfully help her have a baby. it's quite clear that her maternal instincts are very strong. the videos with the kittens are a clear example of this. but the work they have done with her is amazing. who knew a gorilla could watch and comprehend movies! even being moved by the sad scenes, that's amazing. I mean how often does someone get to say, "oh that gorilla's favorite movie is Tea With Mussolini?"

If they were to release her into the wild, at this point in her life, it would be an almost certain death sentence for her... she wouldn't last very long. What's done is done, let her be happy in the life that she's living now.

    She's an old gorilla, and a lot has happened to her. The death of All-Ball, her kitten, definitely took a toll. Then her friend Michael, another gorilla, died suddenly and unexpectedly, at a fairly young age. And then there was the death of Robin Williams, whom she had befriended. That one's always bothered me a bit, because she'd have been happier never finding out, but as an intelligent being, I also feel like she had the right to be told. And probably the biggest disappointment in her life, she never got to be a mother, hence the gifts of dolls, and possibly the reason she displays a preference for tailless cats. They did try to help her out, but she never took an interest in Michael (rest his soul) or Ndume as potential mates, and now, well, she's old. Can you blame her for having little energy and little drive these days? She's had a long life, and not always the happiest one.
