REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - February 8, 2011) - Koko, the famous lowland gorilla who can speak to us through the use of American Sign Language, has long been a fan and good friend of Betty White, the renowned actress and animal advocate. The Gorilla Foundation is kicking off this "Month-of-Love" by releasing a photo slideshow of some of Koko and Betty's tender moments together. White is a board member of the Foundation, and is a big Koko fan herself.
