Koko is a world famous gorilla who learned sign language. One of her heroes was popular children's show host Mr. Rogers. Koko.org has a record of what happened when they met.
Penny: Hi, Koko. We have a visitor.
Koko: Koko-love.
Mister Rogers: Hello Koko. Hi Koko...
Koko purrs and signs Koko-love and hurry as Penny unlocks her room
gate, and she opens the gate herself as soon as it is unlocked.
Koko first looks in the tote bag Mister Rogers brought and finds a
stuffed Daniel Tiger toy. She puts the bag and toy down, holds Mister
Rogers’ hand to her lips, and smells his hand. She pulls him close and
touches his face gently. Then she unceremoniously unzips Mister Rogers’
trademark cardigan sweater.
P: You know how to work a zipper. Very good.
Koko holds Mister Rogers’ hands, studies his tie, and then takes him by the hand
and leads him into her room.
P: Show Mister Rogers your room. Oh, good idea.
Koko removes Mister Rogers’ sweater, checks his mouth for gold
teeth, and then invites him to "chase" her around the room. She blows a
few notes on the harmonica he brought, and spends quite some time
taking pictures with his camera.
