Have you ever wondered what the numbers, or recycling symbols mean at the bottom of plastic bottles and containers? It’s time to learn a little bit about the various plastics you use and drink/eat from every single day, and what impact they have not only on you, but also the environment.

A newborn baby gorilla at Melbourne Zoo in Australia gets a checkup at the hospital and shows suprise at the coldness of the stethoscope. Like humans, gorillas have two legs and two arms, 10 fingers and 10 toes, small ears on the side of the head, forward-looking eyes and 32 teeth.

Their bodies are covered by thick dark hair, except on the face, chest, underarms, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. An adult male gorilla becomes a “silverback” at about age 15 when he is full grown and the hair on his back turns silvery-grey.

All animals/mammals drink water even if it isn’t often and seeing as this picture was from a forest fire then obviously there were no leaves for the koala to eat and is why it is drinking from the water bottle.
