Rafflesia can be found in the forest of Malaysia, Southern Thailand, Sumatra and Java. But, Rafflesia
flowers are fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to see them in bloom. Its buds take up to 10 months to
develop while its blossom lasts for just a few days.

Rafflesia has brownish, scale like leaves and fleshy, smelling flowers of various sizes, from few inches to
meter big in diameter. We usually notice its large fleshy flowers. There is a deep well in the centre of the flowers.
The sexual organs are located beneath the rim of the disk. Male and female flowers are separate.
The reddish brown colors of the petals, sprinkled with white freckles produce unpleasant stench, similar to
rooting flesh. This would attract flies and insects which help disperse the seeds. Rafflesia is parasite, which means it

The legend of Lake Batur
A long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giantlike creature named Kbo Iwo.
The people of Bali used to say that Kbo Iwo was everything, a destroyer as well as creator. He
was satisfied with the meal, but this meant for thr Balinese people enough food for a thousand
men.
Difficulties arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the new
harvest was still a long way off. This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger. In his hunger, he
destroyed all the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn to rage. So, they
came together to plan steps to oppose thus powerful giant by using his stupidity.
They asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and
temples he had destroyed. After they fed Kbo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole. One day he had
eaten too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village began to throw the
limestone they had collected before into the hole boiling. Kbo Iwo was buried alive. Then the
water in the well rose higher and higher until at last it overflowed and formed Lake Batur. The
mound of earth dug from the well by Kbo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.

Read the following text for answering question no. 34 37
Orangutan means forest man a very suitable name for the largest of the tree dwelling
apes; a large male can weigh 90 kg.
Orangutans live in Sumatra and Kalimantan. They are very gentle animals and live quietly
several meters off the ground. They spend their time moving from mea to meal by passing from
tree to tree, swinging rather than jumping, using their long arms to carefully reach out the gaps
among trees.
It is thought that there are about 150,000 wild orangutans, but only about 20,000 are in
reserves and safely protected from danger. The main threat to the orangutans comes from logging
companies, or from people who illegally capture and sell orangutans as pets. The logging
companies exploit the living rain forests for timber but in doing so destroy the environment for
the orangutans. The orangutans need dense forests so that they can easily move from tree to tree
in searching for food.
The destruction of rain forests could also bring about the extinction of orangutans. They
cannot survive without dense living forests.

GORILLAS
