Activity:

Gorillas are the biggest members of the group of animals we call primates. Other primates include chimpanzees, monkeys and humans. Gorillas do not hunt other animals. They mainly eat plant growth in forests. They are known to be shy and gentle giants.

Two equally gentle animals, the giant pandas, have arrived Hong Kong recently. Will you go to Ocean Park to see them? What will you do when you see them? You can watch the April 26, 2007 news clip at our TVnews News Archive for more information about these two new residents of Hong Kong.
(To view the clip, HKEdCity student accounts are required. Please click here for details.)
