Spiders
When a cricket landed in this spider's web, the spider rushed to attack it. To keep its prey from struggling enough to break free, the spider sank in its fangs, injecting a little venom. Then the spider quickly wrapped up the cricket in more silk so it couldn't escape. When the spider is ready to eat, it will break open the crickets tough body with its jaws and brings and bring up special juices from its stomach. Within these juices will dissolve the cricket's soft body parts and the spider will suck in its food.FUN FACT Spiders have taste sensors on there feet. Imagine tasting what you step on!
Apes
Apes are the most highly envolved primates. There are four species: the orang-utan, gorilla and two species of chimpanzee. Like humans, apes have flattened fingernails, no tail and opposable thumb that can move to touch each of the other fingers. Orang-utans, which live in Sumatra and Borneo, are solitary animals. They live in trees and eat fruit, leaves and occasionally small animals and eggs. Chimpanzees and gorillas are found only in Africa. They live mainly on the ground and walk on fours, supporting their arms on their knuckles. Chimpanzees are very social animals with many different facial expressions and sounds. They eat fruit, leaves, birds' eggs, insects and mammals such as antelopes and monkeys. although gorillas seem huge and fierce, they are actually peaceful vegeterians. They build nests in trees each night, safe from predators and away from the cold ground.
Bats
Snort,click your tongue, or whistle. These are the same sounds bats make through their nose or mouth, but usually the sounds are so high-pitched that humans can't hear them. Some bats also have special flaps of skin on their noses to direct the sound straight ahead. The bats then listen for an echoe-its own sounds bouncing back. By analyzing these echoes, the bat's brain figures out a sort of sound picture. This lets the bat fly through the dark without bumping into trees or other obsacles. The bat also uses the echoes to home in on prey. As the bat gets closer to its prey, it shoots out sounds faster and faster. Once it get close enough, the bat will sweep the moth into its mouth.
