What do gorillas do for fun?
Gorillas, like humans, are primates. This means they share a common ancestor with humans, a proto-ape, if you will. Because of this evolutionary kinship, they are very like us, they can walk on their feet when they're adults, they can eat with their hands, they can listen and learn as quick as we can so they are nearly the same as us! Gorillas in captivity have shown a remarkable grasp of basic language concepts heretofore thought to belong to humans alone. The most famous of these gorillas, Koko, learned to communicate with researchers using sign language, since a gorilla's vocal cords aren't capable of reproducing spoken language. Koko produced complex sentences using sign language suggesting gorillas and humans likely share similar thought processes. Koko expressed emotions and a rich and complex mental life.

Does a gorilla use sign?
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.
