A few gorillas have been taught to use American Sign Language, and they turn out to have a fair knack for it. The first gorilla to learn sign language was named Koko, and she was such a gentle giant that she adopted a kitten of her own, which she named "All Ball".

Some researchers believe that Koko taught sign language to another gorilla in her cage. So it is at least possible that in the future, other gorillas and great apes may be able to communicate in this way.
