Product Overview
From Follett

Describes the behavior, diets, and habitats of the orangutan, chimpanzee, bonobo, and gorilla before revealing that humans are the other great ape, discussing simple similarities between people and the other apes and the need to protect these species.

From the Publisher
With compelling illustrations and a conservationist slant, this look at four rare great apes -- and one very familiar one -- is a book to go ape over.

Swing with a hairy orangutan and her baby as they lunge for a smelly, spiky durian fruit. Roam and play with a gang of chimps, then poke out some tasty termites with a blade of grass. Chatter and feast on figs with a bonobo, or chomp on bamboo with a gorilla as he readies for sleep. What could be better than spending time with these rare and wonderful creatures -- after all, the fifth great ape on this planet is you!
Back matter includes an index and a map.
