Yes, it’s a jungle in there. “There” being The Gorilla Foundation, home of Koko the sign-languaging gorilla.

Koko’s fame must have gone to her head. According to a lawsuit filed by two former employees, the signing simian had a thing for nipples:

The suit claims Patterson pressured the two women on several occasions to expose their breasts to Koko, a 33-year-old female — sometimes in situations where other employees could potentially view their bodies. The women never undressed, said their attorney, Stephen Sommers of San Francisco.

They were threatened that if they “did not indulge Koko’s nipple fetish, their employment with the Gorilla Foundation would suffer,” the lawsuit alleged.

The lawsuit claims that on one occasion [Koko trainer Francine "Penny"] Patterson said, ” ‘Koko, you see my nipples all the time. You are probably bored with my nipples. You need to see new nipples.’ “

I wonder how you sign “take off your top”? Or “put ‘em on the glass”? I think they should take Koko on a field trip to Mardi Gras.
