Book excerpt: With more than 600 tree species and 10,000 animal species, the world's second largest rainforest, the Congo rainforest in Central Africa, is truly a lively place to be. In this thoughtful text, various settlements, villages, and indigenous peoples are introduced to readers as well as fascinating, and sometimes dangerous, forest creatures. In fact, hippos cause the most human deaths of any large animal in Africa!
