About These Birds
Barn Owl
メンフクロウはあらゆるフクロウの中で最も非対称な耳を持ち、動物界最高の聴覚的方向定位能力を誇る。完全な暗闇の中でも音だけで獲物を捕まえることができる。特徴的なハート形の顔は放物線状の皿として機能し、ずれた両耳に音を集める。
Keel-billed Toucan
The keel-billed toucan is the national bird of Belize and one of the most recognizable birds in the Neotropics. Its oversized bill, which can be a third of its body length, is actually very light due to its hollow honeycomb structure. Toucans roost communally, with up to six adults squeezing into a single tree cavity.
