For those who don't know, Koko the gorilla passed away yesterday at the age of 46. She was well known for being compassionate, intelligent, and possessing her own humor and personality. She is most famously known for mastering sign language, and effectively communicating with humans and teaching parts of ASL to other gorillas. She also had a huge love for cats. All Ball, a grey and white Manx, was her first cat - but was tragically killed by a car over 3 decades ago.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I am mourning the loss of such a great presence in the animal kingdom. Koko helped reveal how intelligent and caring animals can be, and opened up many thoughts for people regarding her species and other animals.
I believe it would fit the theme of lioden, and would be a nice decor for the players, if a decor of Koko was created and released. LittleAntler (#30151) suggested that, if the decor be put in place, it should be released in the gorilla enclave, due to the mascot of that shop being lioden version of Koko. They also wanted a cheaper price so many could afford, so I would say something along the lines of 20 - 60 MT.
It would be even better to add All Ball into the decor, possibly pawing up at Koko?
Additional thoughts and edits will be added :)

Support! It'd be a super sweet way to memorialise her on this site imo

I loved Koko. She's the main reason why I wanted to learn ASL. She's with her kittens now ;^;

Not gonna lie, I cried when I learned that Koko had died. Though if I may make a suggestion, maybe Koko and All Ball could be a Gorilla Enclave decor, since they're loosely based off of Koko and her kitten? It would definitely be one of the cheaper decors available so that everyone gets the chance to have Koko with their lions.

Very good suggestion! Will edit & credit :)
I'm glad I'm not alone in my mourning currently. With all hopes though we may be able to have her forever on our favorite website

This needs to happen, preferably with All Ball featured. Everyone needs a Koko and her kitten.
