#BlackHowlerMonkeys found in central South America aren't always black. Juveniles & females are a golden color and "considered the loudest land animal in the world. Their calls can be heard up to three miles away and can reach 140 decibels." #monkey #animal #LAZoo lazoo.org/explore-your...

The #Okapi is one of my favorite animals. It is known as the "forest giraffe"and is endemic to the northeast Democratic Republic of the Congo in central Africa. #LAzoo

The #KingVulture is both an impressive and beautiful #bird. "Strong stomach acids destroy lethal bacteria and break down bone... The #Mayans saw the king vulture as a messenger between humans and the gods. It was sometimes depicted as a god itself..." from lazoo.org/explore-your...

For #animals to survive we need to #conserve our natural spaces. #Carmel is a beautiful area that is vulnerable to #GlobalWarming.

My understanding is that a group of #giraffes is called a Tower. But I heard some people in Southern Africa like to call them a #kaleidoscope which just sounds amazing.

#Chimpanzees are one of our closest relatives, sharing over 95% of the same #DNA. And they are adorable #Animals #Apes
