  • Summary

  • For an animal lover, working with a famous creature like Koko seemed like the dream of a lifetime. But the reality at The Gorilla Foundation was far from dreamy. Employees were nitpicked and micromanaged, Koko’s trailer was a tumbledown wreck, and the project’s “scientific” data was contained in stacks and stacks of indecipherable handwritten notebooks. Not to mention most people who worked with Koko had zero prior experience with gorillas. Plus, Koko was on so many drugs and supplements, she was barely a gorilla anymore. The dream quickly became a nightmare.
