Jungle Animals Word Search
This jungle animals word search holds forty animals of the tropical forests: the tiger, orangutan, gibbon, toucan, cassowary, king cobra, howler monkey, pangolin, slow loris and binturong.
Jungle comes from the Hindi jangal, which first meant dry, open, uncultivated ground; English writers in India turned it into a word for thick tangled forest, and Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book fixed it in 1894. Orangutan is Malay for person of the forest. A howler monkey's call carries for about three miles through the trees, and the slow loris of Southeast Asia is the only primate with a venomous bite, from a gland near its elbow that it licks.
The pangolin is the only mammal covered head to tail in scales, made of keratin like your fingernails, and it rolls into a ball when threatened. The binturong of Southeast Asia smells like buttered popcorn, thanks to the same chemical that gives popcorn its scent. In the Amazon, hoatzin chicks are born with two claws on each wing and use them to climb back up if they fall into the water. The cassowary of New Guinea can kick with a claw five inches long.
