When Robin Williams managed to make Koko the gorilla smile again after six months of mourning
I wonder: are we seeing this backwards? It almost appears that Koko saw a man in so much pain that she wanted to make him smile. They were both in pain; she seemed to put her pain aside, and in doing so, was able to make him feel loved for a few moments. It's interesting to see this, considering what we now know about Mr. Williams and his troubled mind.
@InternetH0F That was just Robin Williams doing more for animal mental health in five minutes than half the world’s therapists with PhDs and podcasts.
Compassion story: This is KOKO the Gorilla, which most people have heard of, the gorilla who can speak about 1000 words in sign language, and understand about 2000 in English. What most people don't know, however is that Koko was an avid Mister Roger's Neighborhood fan. When Fred Rogers took a trip out to meet Koko for his show, not only did she immediately wrap her arms around him and embrace him, she did what she'd always seen him do onscreen, she proceeded to take his shoes off. Such a moment not to be missed.

@InternetH0F Would love to have some of that Robin Williams energy during the current times. We lost him too soon.
@InternetH0F It was after the passing of her lifelong gorilla companion, Michael, who learned sign language with her.

@InternetH0F It’s not every day that you see a gorilla crack a smile because of a joke. Robin Williams was truly a master. 🥹😍
@InternetH0F Robin Williams passing was the only time I was ever deeply saddened by the death outside of family and friends. It stuck with me for awhile.
@InternetH0F Robin Williams improvised scene in Good Will Hunting made the cameraman laugh so hard the camera started shaking and Matt Damon didn't even have to fake his laugh.
Robin Williams had a special connection with Koko, the sign-language-using gorilla. In 2001, he visited The Gorilla Foundation, where he met Koko and spent a day communicating and playing with her. The two formed a genuine connection, and when Koko was later informed of Williams’ death in 2014, she displayed clear signs of sadness, showcasing Williams’ remarkable ability to connect not just with humans but also with animals.
