00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 (gentle music)
00:06 - Okay, come on out kids.
00:14 Oh, you are a sweetheart.
00:19 You are a sweetheart.
00:21 - One of our volunteers had discovered
00:28 a litter of kittens, this baby.
00:30 And this baby,
00:34 where's their blanket?
00:36 Let's put them all on your table.
00:39 She was able to just bring them to work
00:41 and Coco pointed to one
00:45 and then she made it so like that one.
00:48 - You can do all the scientific studies in the world
00:53 and it doesn't reach the mass.
00:55 And the public probably doesn't really care
00:58 if when was the last time you did a double blind study.
01:03 They do care to see a real gently holding a kitten.
01:09 (upbeat music)
01:13 - His full name was Bull.
01:22 And not Ball.
01:24 Because it looked like a ball.
01:27 So she adopted him and he was just crazy about her.
01:31 (upbeat music)
01:33 - I think the notion that such a powerful animal
01:35 like a gorilla can be tender towards this tiny creature
01:39 while it helps with its posture,
01:42 it captures people's imagination.
01:43 (upbeat music)
01:46 - Around six months, he unbalanced us.
01:53 He started leaving the property.
01:56 And he was hit by a car.
01:59 Coco was devastated.
02:04 - When she was asked, "Where do you go when you die?"
02:11 She said in a comfortable hold, "God."
02:16 And Penny took that as a means she understood.
02:20 - What happened to Ball?
02:22 (rain falling)
02:25 - Coco had sorry of Coco love.
02:30 An attention visit.
02:32 He doesn't visit you anymore.
02:34 (speaking in foreign language)
02:39 - You tell me what kind of kitty you would like
02:43 if you get another one.
02:45 - It looks unbelievable,
02:46 but Coco the gorilla indicated several weeks ago
02:49 she was ready for a new friend.
02:51 - Okay, she's pointing to this one.
02:53 Cat gorilla have visit, Coco love.
03:00 Good, she'd like to have another cat visit.
03:02 Do visit, do, okay.
03:05 - The world is moving towards Penny's point of view.
03:08 Even if scientific community doesn't want to acknowledge
03:12 public opinion,
03:13 it's really much more open
03:15 to animal intelligence than science is really.
03:19 - A 15 stone female gorilla called Coco
03:22 was given a new baby today,
03:24 a tiny ginger kitten she'd chosen from a picture.
03:26 - In other media, it was sat...
03:30 It was turned into a school book,
03:34 the children's book, "My School is That."
03:37 - Which was used in the school's program
03:39 in 48 states.
03:42 So every third grade,
03:43 they would get to read "The Kitten."
03:49 They loved it.
03:50 You can't imagine all the letters we got.
03:52 - For a time, there was a generation,
04:00 if you were to say, "Gorilla Foundation,"
04:02 no one heard of it.
04:03 If you were to say, "Mine," no one heard of it.
04:05 If you were to say, "Gorilla and kitten,"
04:08 no one would have heard of it.
04:10 (baby crying)
04:13 - Coco now was a very famous gorilla.
