Penny compares her hand to Mike's!

Like humans, gorillas have two legs and two arms, 10 fingers and 10 toes, small ears on the side of the head, forward-looking eyes and 32 teeth. Unlike us, their arms are longer and more muscular than their legs, and their big toes look like thumbs. Their bodies are covered by thick dark hair, except on the face, chest, underarms, palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

Some people think that humans are different from or better than animals because of our superior intelligence, especially in the ability to use language. Think about the animals you have met, observed or learned about. What traits other than physical characteristics do humans and animals share?
