•     Welcome to an African cloud forest! As you
  set off down the mountain path, all you see ahead
  is a thick tangle of vines and bamboo trees. But
  the cloud forest is full of life, from a collared
  sunbird hovering over some flowers to a leopard
  stalking a giant forest hog. Day and night in the
  cloud forest, the hunt is on to find food - and
  to avoid becoming someone elses next meal. All
  living things are connected to one another in a
  food chain, from animal to animal, animal to
  plant, plant to insect, and insect to animal.
  What path will you take to follow the food chain
  through the cloud forest? Will you . . . Watch a
  fierce honey badger battle a dangerous snake?
  Slink along with an African golden cat as it
  tails its prey? Munch on some leaves with a
  family of mountain gorillas? Follow all three
  chains and many more on this who-eats-what
  adventure!
