While hippos are typically dark brown, a rare condition called leucism can cause them to appear pink due to a lack of pigment.

Caught this dude in the middle of a feast! Those nut shells were everywhere. 😂

We spent our last few days of the recent Colombia trip on the Isla Grande, Cartagena. One day a palm tree on the hotel grounds started greeting us. After hours this beautiful Ara came out of its hiding spot to ride the palm in the wind. Its screaming and laughing was so infectious! I tried to keep quiet for the video but just couldn't, sorry for that 😅

It definitely was a highlight of this trip. It's so funny that the bird seems to use these human noises in the correct context... We called it Ari, as that was its favorite word. And well, it's an Ara.

I was lucky to get a photo of this amazing big bird by the cost near Stockholm.

He spent a whole day stockpiling nuts from the feeder under the snow, and built escape tunnels in all directions. Like he’s done this before. lol
