Rest in peace Koko, shown here with her pet kitten All Ball
(photographer unknown, fair usage.) She was perhaps the most successful species

housetraining, to which her handler signed "Bad gorilla!" to which Koko
immediately replied, "No. Funny gorilla!" She later was seen to be
signing to herself "hurry! hurry!" thereafter when running to her
restroom...
