Kusasi- Dominant Male of the Orangutans

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

This is a great book about the orangutans of Borneo that are being studied by Birute M.F. Galdikas. It talks about Princess, Uranus, Yaiyat, and the powerful Kusasi. Great for people who love Orangutans and want to help save their enviroment.
