Gorillas

Congo Gorilla Forest http://www.congogorillaforest.com/ Best parts are found on Meet the Congo Residents and by choosing Great Gorilla Forest on the Congo Virtual Tour. Primary school kids will like the Congo Game, which is a Shockwave version of a traditional "move- around-the-board" game for two to four players.

Gorilla Foundation http://www.koko.org/ In 1971, Francine "Penny" Patterson began teaching Koko, a newborn lowland gorilla, American Sign Language. Koko proved an able pupil, and her vocabulary has grown to 1000 words. Older students will find oodles of information about the amazing "talking" Koko and general gorilla background material in About Gorillas.
