00:00 What? A trending story about a living gorilla? Who cares about that?
00:04 Coco the gorilla was visited by the red hot chili peppers flea last week,
00:08 and she tried her hand out on the bass.
00:10 Sounds like...
00:13 That's it.
00:14 [sounds of a bass being played]
00:16 For those of you who don't know, Coco was born at the San Francisco Zoo in 1971.
00:21 She's been learning a combination of American English and sign language.
00:24 According to her handler, she understands 2,000 words of spoken English and over 1,000 signs.
00:29 That's a smart gorilla!
00:32 In the video, Flea says, "This is the greatest thing that could ever happen."
00:35 And it's true. Coco's limited jamming is better than the last four Red Hot Chili Peppers albums.
00:40 [music]
00:43 The two shared another video where they're cuddling,
00:45 and Flea seems obsessed with the fact that they both have pectoral muscles.
00:48 [laughter]
00:50 You're curious about that? I see you've got nipples too. You've got 'em.
00:53 Uh, newsflash, Flea. We all have pectoral muscles.
00:57 [laughter]
00:58 He wrote, "Nipples! Titties! We all have 'em!"
01:01 Can't believe that, like, that f*cking dumbass got to meet the talking gorilla.
01:04 I'm purified on Twitter!
01:06 [ding]
01:07 Coco's met plenty of celebrities in her life. She met Robin Williams in 2001.
01:11 It was awesome and unforgettable.
01:13 And last year, she adopted two baby kittens.
01:16 Coco knows. She picked the one I picked.
01:20 Let's hope those kittens don't have fleas.
01:22 [music]
01:24 Here's what you guys are saying.
01:26 DeadRisingAR, "If Penny took care of her rambe with Coco,
01:29 Coco would have taught him how to communicate.
01:31 That way, everyone would understand why he dragged the boy."
01:35 Bobby Showmaker, "Or you could go buy a homeless kid a cheeseburger.
01:39 Save us, stuff the whales."
01:42 Oh! Save us, stuff the whales.
