Koko was one of Whipsnade Zoo’s longest‑serving chimpanzees, a gentle presence who spent decades captivating visitors and carers alike with her quiet intelligence and expressive face. She formed deep bonds with keepers and fellow chimpanzees, and her steady temperament made her a familiar, comforting figure within the enclosure. This photograph was taken just weeks before she passed away late last year, and it now serves as a poignant reminder of her long life and the many small moments of character that endeared her to everyone who knew her.

This shot was taken early Monday morning 25th August 2025 at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in the U.K
