And now we’re spending billions of dollars to create human looking robots and having ‘conversations’ with them and seeking their ‘advice’. Humans ARE stupid.

Before he passed away, he had a message that he passed on to the whole world in sign language that you will be amazed and shiver when you hear it…

"I have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton!"

When they tried to have someone else figure out what "ook" and lots of hand waving meant, they couldn't.

A guy has a talking dog. He brings it to a talent scout. "This dog can speak English," he claims to the unimpressed agent. "Okay, Sport," the guys says to the dog, "what’s on the top of a house?" "Roof!" the dog replies. "Oh, come on..." the talent agent responds. "All dogs go ‘roof’." "No, wait," the guy says. He asks the dog "what does sandpaper feel like?" "Rough!" the dog answers. The talent agent gives a condescending blank stare. He is losing his patience. "No, hang on," the guy says. "This one will amaze you. " He turns and asks the dog: "Who, in your opinion, was the greatest baseball player of all time?" "Ruth!" goes the dog. And the talent scout, having seen enough, boots them out of his office onto the street. And the dog turns to the guy and says "Maybe I shoulda said DiMaggio?"

I watched the beginning and jumped to the end. Coco’s affection for cats was cute.

I find it interesting but a bit of a stretch. I think it’s generally like that in “animal is like man” stories. The investigators have a bias toward the animal. Probably emotion, preconceptions/ideology, and funding precede the conclusion.

Perhaps they’ve established that Gorillas, dolphins, and elephants are the most advanced non-human animals. There is still a giant leap to humanity.

It does make for entertaining fiction to include “Lassie, is Timmy in trouble?” “Thanks for all the fish” and the final words from this video.

I’ve heard of a cat who can drive a car. Not very well, though.

Of course.

DiMaggio was the better player. :)

Yes,I’ve seen stories of chimps who learned...or seemed to learn...a few words.

Our Chihauhaus can understand certain words.

Border Collies can understand more words than any other canine. That is why they are used for Obedience training.

Chimpanzees and gorillas are much smarter than dogs. So, I can believe that they could understand a lot more. They just do not have the vocal ability to sound them out.

At the end, the message Coco has for us is, "Man stupid", "Save planet", "Save nature".

Wonder where she got that from.

You’d have to want to believe pretty badly to not notice that her “message” consisted of about twenty different video clips spliced together.

Actually, the correct translation from the original gorilla was “Want two bananas.”
