Chimpanzees - Paperback

by Melissa Gish (Author)

Long arms swing ... Hands grip and grab ... Meet the chimpanzee! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these primates. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the great apes' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an African folktale about the chimpanzee adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
