catchimp.jpgThe chimpanzee lives in a troop that numbers between 25-80 chimps. Active by day, the chimpanzee sleeps at night in a tree, well above ground. Chimps stay mainly in trees during the rainy seasons and on the ground during the dry seasons. The chimps eat fruits of all kind and also honey and insects.

kimjelly.jpgA jellyfish kind of looks like an umbrella. The long strands of legs called "tentacles" can sting and seriously harm its prey. Some fish can hide from other fish in the tentacles of a jellyfish and not be harmed by its sting.

laurafun.jpgThe kingdom Fungi includes the yeasts, molds, mushrooms, and mildews, as well as many parasitic forms. Although yeasts are unicellular, most other fungi consist of numerous long multicellular filaments. Their cells are eukaryotic. Because of their thick cell walls, fungi were once regarded as non-photosynthetic plants.
