Koko Relaxes with her New Friend, Tiger

Koko continues to bond with her new kitten friends, Tiger (shown) and Blackie, whom she named personally. The two female kittens have their own nearby living space, so they can conveniently visit with Koko almost any time. Wonder if Tiger is aware that she is among a very short lineage of kittens who have been close friends with a gorilla (a list which includes All Ball, Lips, Smokey and Moe). Koko is simply a very loving gorilla — which turns out to be quite typical for her species. We’re just lucky enough to be able to ask Koko directly about her thoughts and feelings.
