The Hippopotamus
Hippopotamuses are vegetarians and eat mostly grass.Their days
are spent in the water, and their nights in the meadows on
shore. Although they are big and round, they have no fat under
their skin. It's very impressive to see them open their huge
mouths when they yawn.
Unfortunately the hippos were hunted too much for their tusks
(which were used to replace ivory) and today the hippos have
disappeared from many areas of Africa.
Today they can only be found south of the Sahara.
Hippopotamuses live to be forty years old in the wild, and fifty in
zoos.
The Orangutan
The orangutan lives in the rainforests of Borneo and north
Sumatra. Unlike chimpanzees and gorillas, he is a loner.
He lives mostly in the trees and sleeps there, too. Every evening,
he builds himself a soft nest of branches and leaves. He eats
mostly fruit, but also nuts, plants, bark, ants and termites.
In the zoo, he can live to be fifty years old. The orangutan is
often hunted and is endangered because his natural habitat is
threatened.
Translated, his name means "red-wood person".
