Read for my toddler's bedtime. Excellent story about orangutan.. how they live and life cycle. I am surprised to learn that the female orangutan pregnancy lasts 9 months like humans.. and I'm so sad about their being close to extinction.. and I'm happy that there are veterinarian helping to save them because there are some illegal human hunting the mothers so that the babies could be sold for pets.. love learning how smart these animals are.

Great finds from the library!
