June 16, 2020 Type I Tuesday

This week I'm reminiscing to a childhood favorite, Koko the Gorilla. I may or may not have an almost lifesize stuffed Koko the Gorilla (#BestChristmasEver). I was obsessed with Koko the Gorilla as a child and loved learning sign language like Koko. This week explore the fascinating world of animal communication by learning about Koko the Gorilla and her instructor, Francine Patterson.  

Watch National Geographic's Koko the Gorilla (7:34)
