Hairy arms knuckle-walk ... Broad chest heaves ... Meet the gorilla! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Gorillas treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of this marvelous African mammal from the Primates order. Translated into North American Spanish, it covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the great ape's relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a gorilla tale from the Congo River region adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
