FACTOID!!
Did you know that chimpanzees use tools? Chimpanzees 'fish' for termites in termite mounds by stripping thin twigs of leaves and poking them into the tunnels in the mound. Termites will grab onto the twig and be lifted out to the chimpanzee's waiting mouth!


Drought Hazard


Drought Hazard
Florida's worst drought in a century is driving alligators into residential areas in search of food and water. Water levels are approaching record lows and many of the fish that the alligators live off of have died. The dry conditions are causing many wildfires, and forcing the huge reptiles to travel in search of suitable habitat.
