Watch this video of Koko–a gorilla who’s fluent in American sign language–meeting Robin Williams for the first time.
Their friendship was instantaneous.
Robin Williams met Koko in 2001. It was a very cheerful encounter for both, and Koko has treasured it to this day. When Koko learned of Robin’s passing (on Aug. 11, 2014) she became very sad. We hope this video will lift her spirits and remind everyone of the profound gift of joy that Robin Williams brought to our world.
