Mogadishu’s Hut provides an environment aiding the efforts of teachers and instructors to educate our children. The Avenging Apes of Africa add excitement and fun as they help encourage children’s continuing education by showing them how the Avenging Apes use reading, writing, math, science, computers and the knowledge of the environment in completing their mission to save and protect all endangered and threatened animals of the world.
Mogadishu’s Hut has a wall mural map that you can use to practice geography and map skills with your students. Follow the Avenging Apes as they travel the world to protect endangered animals from various threats.
What’s Inside Mogadishu’s Hut?


Angola has thousands of stories in his head and uses creative writing skills to communicate both his fantasies and his feelings. Angola’s stories are so entertaining and well done, that his sibling apes go to him for help in writing their own stories. At this station, students will learn the basics of communicating ideas through the concept of “Beginning, Middle, and End.”


Morocco loves to read and has collected books about animation, endangered animals, habitats, and good books that he just happens to like. Your students are welcome to enjoy all of these books as they take a break from rock climbing, bowling, and arcade games. Morocco is the eldest Avenging Ape and leads his brothers and sister through many missions all over the world. He uses his advanced level of reading comprehension, library resources, and computers to help him research the areas his team is traveling to and prepare for what they will find when they get there.


Zaire is the Avenging Ape who likes math and solving mathematical problems. He enjoys collecting numerical facts about the animals they are trying to protect and save. The poster display presents interesting mathematical facts that Zaire wants to share with your students.


This station has an activity table for your class to use. In the bins, you will find many animals from around the world, as well as items to create the habitat the animals live in. Your students can use these items to create environmental scenarios for each animal. They can use their knowledge of habitats and geography to set up homes for each type of animal and study the posters provided regarding the conservation status of animals around the world.

Libya, the Avenging Apes’ computer whiz, knows that the computer gives the team an excellent communication and research tool for succeeding in their missions. Students can use the provided computer stations to access research links and explore the sites that allow research on endangered animals and habitats.


Algeria is the Avenging Ape who likes to analyze scientific data that he discovers in order to help solve problems. Students can take note of the temperature differences in the various biomes and use that information to determine what physical adaptations the animals may have made in order to survive in that climate. Students can choose an endangered animal and, using a systematic model such as a food chain/web, construct the food (energy) sources that the animal needs to have in its habitat for continued growth and survival.


John the Animator Guy, the directing animator of Grace Animation Studios, shares with your students the principles of creating animation. Your students will view a tutorial video and study displays explaining the principles of animation. These tutorial videos will be changed every three months to show how the principles of movement, music, writing, and drawing are interwoven into an animated cartoon.
