Are gorillas intelligent?
In the 1970s, research conducted by Dr. Penny Patterson from Stanford University revealed gorillas are highly intelligent, emotional creatures. Dr. Patterson taught sign language to a young female gorilla named Koko. As a result, Koko could communicate using more than 1,000 signs. She also understood 2,000 words of spoken English.
