You look at things like that and on the same day read some German no-d*ck has payed 40k to shoot a huge bull elephant and thinks this makes him a man, and other news is the usual people blowing themselves (with others) etc.

News of Robin Williams's untimely death last year hit Koko hard.
The gorilla's handlers said she was moved nearly to tears by the news that her friend had passed away.
In 2001, Williams visited the Gorilla Foundation centre and quickly befriended Koko, making her laugh for the first time in six months.
When her carers explained to Koko, who is fluent in American Sign Language, that a friend of the center had died, she soon became sad and was pictured sitting hunched over with a quivering lip.

Are we being fooled here
This gorilla is not fluent in American Sign Language but a "version" of it, apparently understood only by Koko and her trainer.

Noam Chomsky said.....if primates have developed this remarkable human ability, why wouldn't they use it themselves? It would be as if humans can really fly, but won't know it until some trainer comes along to teach them".
