When she still was a child she got interested in wild animals, and decided to go to Africa for leaning more about those kind of animals. She arrived in Gombe in 1960.

Gombe was a home for chimps, for that reason somebody had protected it, cause without the forest the chimps had not survived.

She tought if she were alone in the forest maybe she could get more close to the chimps. She Stayed up in the mountain named Peak, from that place she could watch chimps by binocular so far.

They found first clues in the eastern of Africa. The oldest species lived almost 4.5 million of years ago. After appeared another species around 2.5 million of years ago. Then  came Homo erectus 1.9 million of years ago. (They were first of cooking and discovered fire).

The humankind began with Homo Sapiens, this specie appeared almost 200,000 of years ago. They invented special tools, that made their lives more easy than it was. They moved constantly to find food.


Many scientists think that change in weather made that species go to another parts of the world.

After the Ice Age, human developed their own culture, or the special way how to live together. In Africa they learned how to hunt animals with arrows and bows.  In Europe and Asia, they lived near the seas, so they found the way how to catch fish. In some parts of America they used spears to hunt animals.

Almost 10,000 years ago people began to growing plants, 2,000 years later they used sheeps and goats. In addition to this appear agriculture.

In order to improve their lives, they began to farm, so that new form of life let people live better. They used plows for getting new type of food.

Alligators and the everglades.....

The Florida everglades is a system of river and it comes from Lake Okeechobee. The first settlers created a drain for their homes and farms.  Actually a dam store the water for the lake, and some of that water flow the everglades.

The everglades is a home for many creatures, and the water is the key for those species. In this place rains since May to October so the dam got sixty inches of water, then it begins to dry up the everglades. for that reason big areas become dry land. the grass and other species die.

When that season comes every animal look for the way how to survive, for example birds fly off to wet spaces, deers look for water, frogs and turtles dig down the mud. Many animals die in that season, fish almos die 90%  in the dry weather.

In the special case are alligator who dig big holes where it remains water. These holes become a home for many insects, turtles, etc. Alligators eat fish,turtles, snakes and other animasl, and sometimes they eat the animals in the holes where they live.

The food chain in this place is very important to save the life of different animals. It begins with mosquitoes who they feed fish with their eggs, and the fish becomes the food for alligator who makes the big holes where many species lives during the dry season.

Alligators are animals who lives in the southeastern of the United States. They are old animals living in the earth. They could be under water for long periods of time.

Specifications for Alligators:

• They have 75 - 80 teeth.
• The temperature determines the gender of alligators.
• In wildlife they can live 35 years.
• They are so big when they are adults.

Actually alligators are in danger, cause its skin is used for made many things. for that reason we have to protect them, if they die, many species will die too.

Indeed, to protect the everglades it was created the Everglades National Park.
