“Gorilla grieved 6 months after the death of a friend – then Robin Williams made her laugh again”

In 2001, Koko experienced a long bout of sadness with her childhood gorilla companion passed away at the age of 26. And that happens to be the same year Robin Williams paid her a visit…

They reveled in each other’s company and, according to TODAY, Koko pulled Williams’ glasses off his face and tried them on, picked his pocket, rifled through his wallet, and towards the end of their meeting, she kissed his hand and pulled him in for a big hug. #gorilla #RobinWilliams #wildanimals
