Party Gorrilla

When I was a kid, the story of Koko, the gorrilla who learned sign language, had me spellbound. The story about how she had a pet kitten that she loved is the kind of stuff kids go bonkers thinking about - two animals being friends.

How gross is this from Koko's Wikipedia:

"Koko has been involved in a number of sexual harassment lawsuits. At least three female former employees have claimed that they were pressured into showing their breasts to Koko. They alleged that Patterson encouraged the behavior, often interpreted Koko's signs as requests for nipple display, and let them know that their job would be in danger if they "did not indulge Koko's nipple fetish." Koko has been known to playfully grab both male and female nipples without warning or provocation. Patterson claims that Koko uses the word "nipple" to refer to humans."





Disclaimer: Unclear if this is actually the famed Koko or not.  I really hope it is Koko, the alternative being some depraved person has a gorrilla they keep in their kitchen and ply with booze.
