He built underground tunnels to hold slaves and animals. He also built a gallery to the top for additional seating. Several different events were held in the Colosseum including gladiator contests, mock battles and animal hunts, and dramas that were based on Classical mythology. The amphitheater was used for entertainment for 390 years. During this time more than 400,000 people died inside the Colosseum.

The test below is for no. 38, 39 and 40. Orangutans or Pongo pygmaeus belong to the Primate order. The orangutan spends most of its time in trees. Each evening it builds a new treetop nest. They are endangered because of habitat lost and poachers keep on killing, owning, and exporting orangutans. They only live on the island of Borneo and in the northern corner of the island of Sumatera. Orangutans are characterized by rough, long, reddish-brown fur.

The male has puffy cheeks and a hanging throat-pouch. This pouch contains air sacks that help produce a groaning, bubbling call, which can be heard at least 1 km (0.6 mi) away. Half of the orangutan’s diet consists of fruit, but they also eat young leaves, soft inner bark, termites, eggs, and occasionally monkeys. When a female is ready to mate, she will seek out an adult male. Orangutans are mammals; females give birth to a single infant about once every four to eight years.
