When Robin Williams managed to make Koko the gorilla smile again after six months of mourning

Two hurting souls connected on another level 🕊

A smile for Robin.

@zakwilliams Your dad was an absolute treasure.

Robin Williams should still be here on this Earth. We were absolutely robbed.

Esa interacción de 2001 es pura magia. Demostró que la empatía y la risa no tienen barreras de especie, especialmente con alguien tan genuino como Robin. Dato Curioso: Cuando Robin falleció en 2014, los cuidadores de Koko le dieron la noticia. Koko, que dominaba el lenguaje de señas, se puso muy triste y, tras pensarlo un rato, hizo la seña de "llorar". Su vínculo fue real hasta el final.

Koko prob could sense even more pain in Robin’s heart and tried to make him smile

Great now I’m crying and it’s 10am

Koko knew their was something very special about Robin. He saw inside of him and wanted to help his hurt.

<3 love is universal

We lost a very special human when he passed!

It was a very nice gift to Koko and certainly Robin Williams needed another Koko to change his own life.

This is so beautiful. To think Robin Williams made the world smile and yet was battling depression - bless his heart.

Some kindness reaches places words never can. This moment is so moving. And oh my ... who didn't love Robin.

This made me fucking cry in bed right now.

Orangutan wanted to look inside the bag

Chimps outperform humans at memory task

@LDM_tigergirl I remember this. Koko had a larger vocabulary than trump on his best day. Plus she possessed more human characteristics and traits as well

Animals feel...they feel kindness, sincerity, sorrow...more than many people can...

It really is hard to know that this special man, who could so easily spread joy, died because of depression.

Coco signing: "This guy is hairier than me"

Robin Williams was the most kind hearted man to exist

White people things

What a privilege it was to be alive at the same time as Robin. A beautiful human being ❤️

He is without a doubt the most missed in my life 55years a true God among Men. God bless u Robin. Your missed everyday....

@BigNervous Oh! I have never seen this before! I am actually crying! This is just wonderful. And my God. If anyone can bring you out of a depression it is indeed Robin Fucking Williams. It is so heartbreaking that nobody could ever lift him out of his own darkness in this way :(

Very few people throughout history can be called a special human being. Robin Williams is one of them. 🫶

@christinemsmit2 AWWW ROBIN WILLIAMS I MISS HIM WHAT A GREAT GUY AND ACTOR AND KOKO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL INTELLIGENT GORRILLA THEY ARE BOTHE IN HEAVEN TOGETHER

He was an amazing human being

The world would be a much better place if people had just a tiny bit of what Robin had in his heart. He is sadly missed.

one of the greatest men of the modern age, he did not conquer nations or cure cancer. he just brought laughter and smiles, and that's enough.

Koko loved Robin Williams, Mr. Rogers and her kittens. All beautiful souls 💕

@Margeaux_99 I miss his spirit here with us.
