Koko is a seven-year-old female gorilla who was entrusted to a psychology student by the San Francisco Zoo. She teaches the animal sign language, giving her the possibility to communicate. After some time, Koko already stores 350 words in her vocabulary, making a reality of one of humanity`s ancient dreams: talking with an animal.
