Who said animals could not talk?Koko, the thoughtful gorilla who captivated the world through her ability to use sign language and revealed an empathetic side to great apes, has died. She was 46.
“Koko touched the lives of millions as an ambassador for all gorillas and an icon for interspecies communication and empathy,” the foundation said on its website. “She was beloved and will be deeply missed.”
Her remarkable ability to sign landed her on the cover of National Geographic twice — in 1978, in a photo she took of herself in a mirror, and again in 1985, with an image of her mourning the death of one of her pet kittens.
Throughout her life, Koko adopted several felines, using sign language to give them names like All Ball, Lipstick and Smoky. She was gifted a box of kittens on her 44th birthday.
Actually I remember other apes who were taught language using different methods, but what I wonder is whether Koko ever taught sign to another ape.https://nypost.com/2018/06/21/koko-...nguage-and-crying-over-pet-kitten-dead-at-46/

How come we never replicated the results with other gorillas?
