Read Fatima’s blog post.

I’m at the zoo today because I’m doing a project on gorillas for school. There’s a place called Gorilla World here, and a lot of gorillas live in it. It’s really big!

I’m learning a lot of interesting things about these wonderful animals. One gorilla here is 5 feet tall! I’m only 4 foot 5 inches, so he looks really big! He has very long arms, too.

How do gorillas live in the wild? Well, they eat a lot of fruit that they find up in trees. They get up early (not like me!), and they look for food in the morning. They go to sleep at noon, and then they look for food again in the afternoon. In the evening, they make a bed and go to sleep again.

They can live to be 45 years old in zoos. I can see four gorillas here right now, so I’m taking a lot of photos of them. I can’t see the others, though. I think they’re hiding!

1. Not many gorillas live at the zoo.

2. One of the gorillas has longer arms than Fatima.

3. Fatima thinks the gorillas get up earlier than she does.

4. Gorillas sleep all afternoon.

5. Fatima can’t take photos of some of the gorillas at the zoo.
