Southwestern Africa.
6. Bears hibernate during the winter months.
Before hibernation begins, they must eat
plenty of food, sometimes around 90 pounds
a day, so they can store food and survive
while hibernating.
Brown Bears, shown here, are also called
Grizzly Bears.
7. Gorillas are the largest living primates.
Gorillas normally walk by putting their feet
flat and walking on the knuckles of their
hands.

understanding spoken language and actually
speaking with sign language, demonstrated
