are in danger of dying out.
These creatures are known
as endangered animals. Luckily, through the efforts
of people all around the
world, some animals that
were once endangered are
growing in number again. Learning about these amazing
creatures can help us to take
better care of them and enjoy
them for a long time to come.

Other primates are also very smart. Langurs, howler monkeys, and orangutans teach their young how to make tools.

When you look into these animals eyes, they appear to be thinking.

about how to get food, and how
to take care of their young.

Lemurs and langurs are at home high up in trees. Lemurs and langurs are at home high up in trees. But for the red panda trees are food. Some animals like to stay near the tops of trees. They need to be in large, thick forests, where they can move from branch to branch. Clouded leopards feel right at home on big tree branches. They can even climb upside down, underneath a branch, if they want to be sneaky! Other cats look for food on the ground, in wide open spaces. They are able to run very fast. Burrowing owls, green turtles, and cheetahs all have spotsall the better to blend in! These owls have different colored spots to help them hide in different places. Can you tell where they live?
