The Kiwi

New Zealand's national bird.

Features

Apes are really smart animals that are a lot like us! They don’t have tails like monkeys, but they have strong arms that help them climb trees and swing around. They can use their hands to grab things, just like we do. Some apes, like chimpanzees, even use sticks and rocks as tools to get food! Apes live in families and take care of each other. They talk using sounds, hand signals, and even their faces—kind of like how we smile when we're happy or frown when we're sad. Some apes, like gorillas, are really big and strong, while others, like gibbons, are small and super fast. So, apes are amazing creatures because they are smart, playful, and really good at living in the wild! 🦍🐵😊

Senses

Apes use their senses to explore the world around them. They have really good eyesight and can see colors, which helps them find tasty fruits and watch out for danger. Their ears are sharp, so they can hear sounds from far away, like other apes calling or a predator coming. Their noses help them smell food and recognize their family. Apes also have strong hands and feet that let them feel things, like rough tree bark or soft leaves, which helps them climb and grab things easily. They can also taste different foods to know what is yummy and safe to eat. With all these senses working together, apes can stay safe, find food, and communicate with each other in the wild! 🦍🍌👀👂👃

Eggs

Apes are amazing animals that are a lot like us! There are different kinds of apes, like gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and gibbons. Gorillas are the biggest and super strong, but they are also very gentle. Chimpanzees are really smart and can use sticks and rocks to help them get food. Bonobos look like chimpanzees but are very kind and love to share. Orangutans have long, orange fur and live high up in the trees. Gibbons are the smallest apes and swing super fast from tree to tree. And guess what? Apes don’t lay eggs! Just like humans, they have babies and take care of them for a long time. 🦍🐵💕

Species

There are five species of kiwi:

Apes come in different types, and they are split into two big groups: **Great Apes** and **Lesser Apes**. ### **Great Apes (Big and Super Smart!)**
• . **Gorillas** – The biggest apes, strong but gentle. They live in Africa.
• . **Chimpanzees** – Really smart and playful, they can use sticks as tools.
• . **Bonobos** – Look like chimpanzees but are more peaceful and love to share.
• **Orangutans** – Have long, orange fur and live in trees in Asia. ### **Lesser Apes (Smaller and Fast!)** 5. **Gibbons** – They are smaller than great apes and swing super fast from tree to tree. All these apes live in jungles and forests, mostly in Africa and Asia. They don’t have tails like monkeys and are really smart, just like us! 🦍🐵🍌
