Ape fans gather round! Join expert field guide Huw Lewis Jones and fellow primate admirer Sam Caldwell on an expedition to rainforests around the world to learn more about these amazing animals.
We’ll head high into mountain forests, and through hot, steamy jungles, to discover all the different types of apes and learn how we can best help them. From orangutans to chimpanzees, bonobos to YOU … this book is packed with facts, fun, and everything there is to know about our great ape family!
Discover what gorillas eat, where chimpanzees sleep, and what we have in common with orangutans. Meet some of the first primates and come face-to-face with a giant orangutan that stomped the earth 350,000 years ago!
Stories and movies haven’t always been kind to apes, but this book shows us how incredible they really are, and it highlights the remarkable ways that they communicate with and care for one another. Funny, irreverent, informed, and entertaining, this book appeals to animal lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
