Wonderfully Wild Wednesday: Two sets of eyes

Posted by: Rebecca Whitham, Communications





When the sunbittern unfolds its wings, a burst of color is revealed with a pattern that looks like two glaring eyes.


The “eyes” can be used to frighten predators.

Come see the sunbittern in the always warm Tropical Rain Forest building. It's the perfect escape on a rainy day. And now rainy days at the zoo might come with a little something extra--50% off zoo admission!
