There are plenty of other animals needing saving (humans included) and nearly all of them are higher on my list than these guys =/]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.koko.org Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:05:19 -0800 http://davidrosenblatt.stumbleupon.com/review/29891655/ DavidRosenblatt - five stars!]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.koko.org Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:03:13 -0800 http://toterkorpermann.stumbleupon.com/review/28562558/ toterkorpermann - I stumbled upon this while listening to a song entitled Gorilla. Weird. I'm not quite cuckoo for Koko though.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.koko.org Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:36:33 -0800 http://ratbags.stumbleupon.com/review/27187737/ Ratbags - Gorillas are wonderful creatures!]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.koko.org Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:31:38 -0700 http://caile-girl.stumbleupon.com/review/24568824/ caile-girl - Koko the Gorilla I spent quite a bit of time rummaging through here this morning reading the story of Koko, a gorilla well-known for her exceptional signing abilities and other interaction which helps humans understand much about these beautiful creatures and their thoughts and capabilities. Koko is a warm, intuitive animal whose favorite companion was a kitten named All Ball, who passed away (Koko discusses her thoughts on All Ball's death). She does art, writing and has an IQ in the range of 75-90 (100 is the average for humans). The photos are touching and provide a visual glimpse into her life and compassionate, fun-loving nature. An Interview With/About Koko Koko's Ghost Costume "Penny and Ron were looking for Koko's old halloween ghost costume, and Koko overheard them say they couldn't remember where it was. So Koko went on a creative expedition of her own and located a white plastic raincoat decorated with black animal figures, which she had once tried on for other reasons. Even though it was folded into a little 6"x8" case, Koko imagined that it would make a swell ghost costume."

I would absolutely love to go see her in person someday and talk with her for a while. :)]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.koko.org Sat, 24 Jun 2006 15:00:09 -0700 http://missbehave.stumbleupon.com/review/4593628/ missbehave - The Gorilla Foundation is trying to start a Gorilla Preserve on Maui, Hawaii that will allow them to fully study gorillas while saving them as well. You can learn more about what the Maui Ape Preserve is all about by visiting the Maui Preserve section. There are also donation links all over the place, mainly because it is a non-profit organization. The way they get money is through donations and government grants. You don't have to donate money. That's a personal choice. What you can do though is educate others about gorillas. You can get free teaching materials from them to help educate your children, or the children in your classes. Or you can on the red side menu and go to the link that starts out "Teach your children" and you'll come to the same page. To learn more about Koko and how she became an ambassador for her critically endangered creatures, go to the introduction link on the side menu. You have probably seen Koko on TV or heard about her. She knows American Sign Language and is known for her love of kittens. From the introduction section, scroll to the bottom and you will find a link that reads "The Significance of Project Koko." Click the link and you will find a list of 10 ways that Project Koko is significant. Click The About Gorillas link on the side menu and learn all about gorillas, from basic gorilla life to gorilla facts. There are also some awesome primate sites that you can check out. The FAQ section answers questions that you may have about Koko, the preserve and much more.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.koko.org Mon, 19 Jun 2006 07:56:25 -0700 http://dreambird.stumbleupon.com/review/4534199/ dreambird - Robin Dexter: World traveler, volunteer chef, Gorilla Foundation, graphic artist - turnitoff.net]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.koko.org
