Malayan tapirs communicate with high-pitched whistles that oddly resemble the sound of squeaky car brakes.

Can you hold your breath as long as a seal?
We wouldn’t recommend being too confident.....harbor seals can hold their breath for up to 30 minutes!

The 2,000th leaf-tailed gecko has hatched @riverbankszoo
Leaf-tailed geckos are native only to Madagascar, and are most well known for their uncanny camouflage skills (the main reason for the white backdrop). In fact some of these gecko species have fringed flaps on their sides and lower jaws that can flatten against a surface, to obscure their outline. Talk about an amazing adaptation!

Meerkats are known for their daring diet of venomous snakes and scorpions! Thankfully they have a built in immunity so the venom is less effective to their bodies.
