Mountain Gorillas

Mountain gorillas make their home in the misty forests of Africa's highlands, where they have developed traits suited to life at higher elevations. This nonfiction title follows the ways these great apes have adjusted to their mountain surroundings, presented at a reading level that suits early independent readers.

Photographs throughout show the forest habitats that shape the animals' daily lives. Additional feature sections explain where mountain gorillas range, what they eat, and the physical adaptations that help them survive in their environment.
