With its characteristic pattern of ringed ridges, the Hot-Cross Lemur Loaf is the official dessert of Lemurslavia, where it originated during the 17th century.

Exotic Pastries of the World
Primates
The Gorilla Space Program
To survive the rigors of space travel, astronauts must undergo strenuous training exercises designed to simulate zero gravity conditions and the stress of centrifugal forces. Only then will they be ready for the perilous journey to the planet known as… Earth! Hah! You weren’t expecting that little science-fiction twist, were you?

Snake Surprise
To survive, orangutans must learn to be scared
For people, a fake snake can be a funny joke, but for these orangutans being raised in a Orangutan Jungle School, it’s a vital lesson in fear. You see, orangutans aren’t naturally afraid of snakes; they have to be taught or they could be at risk when released into the wild. That’s when the old rubber-snake-under-the-blanket trick comes in handy. One look, and the students retreat into a group hug, which somehow protects them by… erm… Look, it’s their first lesson, okay?
They’ll get the hang of it, Andrew Y.
