This is a giant anteater
She gives her baby a piggy back ride
The baby blends in with her back so predators can’t tell he’s there.
But you can see his little nosey
And his little ears
Although it’s not easy when she’s moving fast and the sun is setting
He has to hold on tight
They crossed the road right in front of us
Toucans shouldn’t be hard to spot.
But sometimes they are.
This is a burrowing owl
They live in Canada too but they’re endangered so you almost never see them
Owls are no good at digging
So they borrow burrows from other animals, which in Canada usually means ferrets
So when all the ferrets were poisoned that meant no more burrowing owl nests.
This is a bat falcon.
He is standing on a bridge.
But he’s still flapping his wings in the wind.
Which looks really funny.
Maybe they were wet.
Or maybe he’s just a silly little falcon.
Sorry.
He’s not a silly little falcon.
He’s a fierce predator.
Ready for any prey that the wind blows into him.
This is a trogon
We’re not sure what kind
Matt did an AI search that decided it was a jay
I can do better than that
But I don’t know what kind of trogon it is
It’s a pretty trogon
It was also pretty loud
This is also probably a trogon, maybe a juvenile.
