Volume Up! 🔊

Toucans are known for their bright colours and large bills, but did you know toucans make loud calls in their forest habitats?

A toucan's call is not only used to help establish territory, used as a warning about predators and to attract a mate, but is also used as a form of communication with other toucans.

Listen here to a white-throated toucan as it vocalizes at the zoo!

It's Capybara Appreciation Day! - 10th July

Did you know the capybara is the largest rodent in the world?!

Capybaras are herbivores and feed on grasses and plants including aquatic plants. Like other rodents, their teeth continously grow. Grazing on these plant material, allows their teeth to be worn down.

The capybara is related to the guinea pig, squirrel and porcupine. It can weigh over 100 lbs when full grown.The capybara is native to Central and South America and is an introduced species to Trinidad.

Myth - Porcupines shoot their quills!

Contrary to popular belief, porcupines do not shoot their quills!

Porcupines are covered with many sharp quills or modified hairs. Porcupines are often portrayed in cartoons shooting their quills.

Porcupines, however, do not shoot their quills - instead, these animals raise their quills when threatened! In this way, if a predator attacks a porcupine, it can be stuck with the many sharp quills. The porcupine then has a chance to escape!

Happy World Porcupine Day! - 2 July
