Koko was granted her ultimate 44th birthday wish this past Fourth of July when she met an entire box full of kittens. Koko, who is famous for her incredible maternal instincts and deep-rooted love of kittens, fell in love with two tiny felines to the point she has adopted them as her very own. Prepare to say "AAWW!" when Koko happily plucks a kitten named Ms. Grey out of the box, gently grasps her in her gigantic hand and allows her to climb all over her body. She holds Ms. Grey to her chest and reveals such a sweet softness that it's clear they're going to make a wonderful family.
According to YouTube channel kokoflix, "Not only have Koko's maternal and play instincts kicked in, but she is signing more to her caregivers and generating new content everyday that can be used by The Gorilla Foundation to create empathy fro great apes. This can have significant benefits to both endangered free-living great apes and those in captive environments, by encouraging the development of 2-way communication with their caregivers (which Koko has had since she was a baby)."
At the 1:44 mark, Koko asks her trainer to put the kitten in a very adorable place — just watch and see.
Congratulations on your new babies, Koko! Please SHARE this amazing moment with your friends on Facebook!
