About the Animals in the Book


  • Mining and Mountain Gorillas and Cell Phones?
  • I am a high school teacher who is trying to help a student with her senior project. Her mother's favorite animal was a panda bear (her mom was killed when she was hit by a car when the student was 10 years old. The student wants to do her project on panda bears but she has to have 15 physical hours working with her project. I saw that you went to school in Raleigh NC and we are in Bunn (about 30 minutes from Raleigh) Can you give us any ideas about what she could do to make up her product hours for this project? She is an honor student and is willing to work to get a good grade on this project. Any ideas you have dealing with pandas would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.
  • What is the average temperature of a Mountain Gorilla?
  • Where can I find out more about the wild animal species in the book and their conservation status?
  • If the patients in the book are still alive, where can I go to see them?
