and orangutans have a lot in common with humans. Surprisingly, ape

with family members. In addition, they have the ability to learn more
than 1,000 words!

also have feelings and thoughts. They can perceive changes in their
environments and control their own behavior
accordingly. They even have
their own language. They communicate with each other through ultrasonic waves.

Elephants are very clever. They can use objects in creative ways
without being taught. For example, they use palm leaves as fans in summer.

all bird species. Surprisingly, they can count objects. They can also
plan a strategy. For example, when they are eating a meal in front
