Koko must have dental insurance

Remember Koko, the gorilla who can use sign language? Well, as CNN reports, she had a toothache:

When Koko the gorilla used the American Sign Language gesture for pain and pointed to her mouth, 12 specialists, including three dentists, sprang into action.

The result? Her first full medical examination in about 20 years, an extracted tooth and a clean bill of health.

Koko is 33.
