Judge: Companion of late gorilla Koko must go back to zoo

A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled a male silverback gorilla loaned to a California group as a companion and possible mate for Koko, the gorilla who learned sign language, must be returned to a Cincinnati zoo. Koko died in June last year at age 46. The Cincinnati Zoo sued after the Gorilla Foundation reneged on the agreement claiming 37-year-old Ndume would be harmed by the move.
