This term I did a novel study about a Silverback Gorilla, (SBG) called "The One And Only Ivan". it was about gorillas and other animals. The problem is the humans are so bad in this book!
This is a book which is made up of some true facts, all mushed together in a very good book, that is funny, good, helpful, meaningful, and lots of other things.
This video is what the real things are based on - a gorilla that really lived in a shopping mall for 27 years. This video was made in 1992 and after people saw this video they got so much notice about this video that he got moved to the Atlanta Zoo, and it was a good safe place for him to live and be, and be present there.
Here is what he looked like at the zoo:
They made this video they day he died, he was 50 years old.
I learned some facts about SBGs. SBGs are mostly herbivores, and eat mangoes, bamboo, plants and bugs

They live in the mountains of Africa, where it is hot, jungly and damp. They live in a special protected place because they are in danger because people are shooting them for their walls and decorations and their forest is getting destroyed and using trees for fuel and farming and houses - HUMANS! Why do you have to do so many cruel things?
Male gorillas get silvery grey hairs on their backs at about age 11-13 and its silver and on the back.
Gorilla troops are made of males babies and females, there is one main dude who is the protector of the troop and if an enemy comes he stands on his hind legs and beats his chest - "IIIIIIEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!" and scares the enemy away. The other males in the troop are younger and when they get older they leave to find their own troop. Females leave their troop when they are 8.
They make nests in trees out of bent sticks and tied together leaves, if they are very heavy they stay on the ground and make a nest on the ground. The mamas and babies sleep cuddled together, and the babies travel on their mamas backs, like a piggy back ride, but they are not piggies.
Other Animal Growth and Changes
I also studied some animal growth and changes this term, and my favourite fact I learned was about ducks. In a duck's egg, the chicks of the ducks, the ducklings, have a little tiny pecking tooth, which they use when it's time for them to crack open from their shell. They peck, and peck and peck 'til they can squiggle out. And then the tooth falls off.
I visited Maplewood farm to see the animals, and I saw peacocks, chickens, bunnies, mountain goats, rams, sheep and mosquitoes.
I also participated in the GREAT CANADIAN SHORELINE CLEAN-UP with my Brownie troop, and we saw some goslings and geese. And I saw some goslings and geese at Granville Island too!
I learned how to use the Dewey decimal system at the library while searching for animal facts and I found out the Dewey decimal system connects to fairies, in a certain way I will not tell you unless you come to my house, because this can not be randomly posted on the internet. The end.
