I was thinking about you Koko…

Koko (born July 4, 1971) is a female gorilla who, according to Francine “Penny” Patterson, is able to understand more than 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language. Koko is the focus of The Gorilla Language Project, or Project Koko, is the longest continuous inter-species communications project of its kind in the world.

Koko has advanced further with language than any other non-human. Koko has a working vocabulary of over 1000 signs. However, Koko understands more than 2,000 words of spoken English, so she can follow what others are talking about. Koko usually initiates most of conversations with her human attendants and caretakers and she generally composes statements  and questions averaging three to six words. Koko’s tested IQ of between 70 and 95 on a human scale, where 100 is considered “normal.”

Koko is a Western Lowland Gorilla. These gorillas are nearly extinct.

There are some things that we all dislike and there are some things that I dislike and there are probably some things that you dislike that I like and there are probably some things that I dislike that you like and on this goes to who knows where.

Program Description
This short documentary is filmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the last 200 of our world’s silverback mountain gorillas are in a desperate fight for their survival.

May we take a minute more to contemplate the brilliant Koko?

Look at her, she just cares about love.

She’s blessed!

I hope you are blessed today.

I love animals. I’d probably have loved to be a trainer — well, maybe — if it really is as much fun as I believe, then I’d have liked that I think.

Robin Williams met with my online favorite animal buddy — Koko the Talking Gorilla.

Program Description
Robin Williams met with her, has a tickle fight with Koko, and she checks his id.

The next video includes some colorful language and sexual talk. Here is what Robin Williams said about his visit.

Laughing-chimp-gif-animationFrom what I can find, researchers report evidence that human love for animals dates back perhaps as much as 100,000 years. Love of other animals is not strictly a human trait and I’ll come back to that in another post. However, our human capacity to relate to the mental states of others is key to human fascination with animals. 

Domesticating animals too made good economical sense. Since the dawning of human interaction with animals we’ve increasingly sophisticated social exchanges with one another. 

This post really was more for a break from the seriousness of my week. I hope it was entertaining. Do you have pets? I believe that pets help people feel the love. If people would have a pet, I hope it is for and with love.

December is self-improvement month at this blog — let’s all get in touch with our best true selves and make this our month to end the year at our best. I’ll feature lots of content to improve the inner and outer us. Check back frequently.

Thanks for visiting.

Hunt 4 Truth

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." https://hunt4truth.wordpress.com/ Absolute Truth is whole, complete and perfect. Absolute Truth is just beyond words, mental concepts, and form; Non-being, yet in everything and yet beyond thought forms. Prayer and meditation fashion in our hearts further honesty, openness, and willingness and thus, we may glimpse guidance and truth to rightly think and act. Any glimpse of truth is not Absolute Truth. It may be sufficient until we renew our commitment to serve God. Life is thus best navigated during mindfulness of prayer and meditation by an inner peace. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20
