Science of the Northern Tamandua
The northern tamandua (Tamandua mexicana) is a species of anteater found primarily in the tropical forests of Central America. They are one of four anteater species found in the western hemisphere, and can be distinguished by their distinctive coloring, with light tan or yellow coats and black markings, often likened to a “V” or “vest” shape, over their backs and sides.
Science of Scarlet Macaws
Scarlet macaws, known for their vibrant plumage and remarkable size, inhabit the lush forests of Central America. These striking birds typically display a combination of bright red, yellow, and blue feathers, making them one of the most visually stunning members of the parrot family. Their wingspan can reach up to three feet, allowing them to soar gracefully through their natural habitat.
Through our "Science of..." series, we aim to explore the unique characteristics of scarlet macaws and the vital roles they play in biodiversity. Their beauty and intelligence serve as a reminder of the intricate relationships within ecosystems and the need for conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures.
