Tuesday morning sighting of Carlito the #giantanteater!

👉Did you know? Giant anteaters will avoid threats if possible. If they need to defend themselves, they will rear up, steadying themselves with their large tails, and use their powerful claws. Adult giant anteaters are rarely vocal. If the young do vocalize, it is a high-pitched, shrill grunt.

Swipe for a big smile to start your week! Our sea lions are so excited for another Sunday at your Birmingham Zoo!

👉Did you know? They growl, bleat, roar, and bark to mark their territory and signal danger. They are called the “lions of the sea” because they have manes and roar loudly like their land-dwelling namesakes.

🦧Finally, a Saturday to sit and relax!! You can find Oliver, Lipz and Nadira the #orangutans sitting, swinging or sometimes sleeping over in the primates building at your Birmingham Zoo!

👉The fatty tissue seen on both sides of Oliver's face are known as flanges - which develop when male orangutans are fully mature, at around 35 years old.
