PRETTY WATER PUBLIC SCHOOL

Hola! 

  We will be studying letter “G” and two African animals this week, Gorillas and Giraffes.
Giraffes are the tallest land animal and every giraffe has a unique spot pattern. 
Giraffes use their extremely long, black tongues to eat leaves off of high branches of trees.
Giraffes tongues can be up to 20 inches long and are black to protect against sunburn.
A group of giraffes is called a tower and a group of gorillas is called a troop.
Gorillas are the largest ape and are herbivores.
Gorilla mothers hold their babies until they are about 4 months old then the babies are old enough to hang on to their mother’s back until they are about 3 years old.
Gorillas stay with their mother for 7 to 10 years.
Some gorillas in captivity have learned Sign Language to communicate with humans.

  Gorillas are critically endangered, but you can help.
Recycle old cell phones and electronics. 
There are metals mined from gorilla habitat in the Democratic Republic of Congo that are used in cell phones and other electronics.  
You can recycle at Show, Inc. 425 W. Wells St. Sapulpa, (across from the Salvation Army), the MET in Sand springs, and Walmart parking lots have a large bin for recycling.
The Tulsa Zoo has four giraffes. but does not have gorillas.
