CURRICULUM FOR INTERACTIVE WEBSITE: When night comes in the rain forest, half the jungle goes to sleep. Among this half are the orangutans. These creatures belong to the ape family, the same as chimpanzees and gorillas. These large, shaggy, red-haired apes are nearly the kings of the rain forest trees. Your child will learn about these animals, their habitat, and their way of life, along with vocabulary words like arboreal and habitat.
