White-faced saki monkeys at Edinburgh ZooEdinburgh Zoo has a breeding pair of white-faced saki monkeys, as well as a young female that was born in January 2007 and a male that was born in April 2009. This is great for the breeding programme! When the youngsters reach sexual maturity, they will be moved on to another collection. In the wild, young saki monkeys of this age would move away from their family group to look for a partner and start their own family.
When white-faced saki monkey youngsters are born, they are the same colour as the adult female regardless of the sex. They will stay that colour until they are about 2 months; at that point, if the baby is a male, the black hair starts to come through and the white ring around the face appears.

White-faced saki monkeys in the wildWhite-faced saki monkeys (Pithecia pithecia) are given that name because the males have a white ring around their faces, although the females do not. Both males and females are a grizzled brown colour with slight white streaks on the side of the nose. They are found in the rainforest of the Amazon Basin, and live in evergreen, coastal, secondary, and gallery forests. They are rarely found in flooded forest. White-faced saki monkeys spend most of the time in the trees, rarely going down to the ground, but they have occasionally been found on the ground or on new-growth trees.
White-faced sakis use the lower levels of the trees because of the competition with food with bearded sakis (Chiropotes satanas). White-faced saki monkeys have long fingers and long nails, which make gripping branches and moving around in the trees easier. They prefer to move around in the trees on solid branches in the lower to middle-canopy levels.
The wild diet of the sakis is an interesting one; fruit intake is about 55-60 percent, seeds 30 percent, and flowers 6-7 percent. Their diet occasionally includes animal prey, such as small birds and bats.
White-faced saki monkeys have special canine teeth, which enable them to crack large nuts that other monkeys would leave alone. They also eat termite nests, which are high in iron. When sakis need to drink, they will go to a hollow or hole in the tree where water has gathered and put their hands in, then lick the water droplets off the hand.
White-faced saki monkeys have an aggressive display. This can start off with a growl, then they will start shaking their body with an arched body posture and a growl. If that doesn’t work, then they start to shake branches using their whole body.

Pemberton has a population of 800. It was named after the first settler of the district Pemberton Walcott. In 1913 the state government opened two sawmills here and a small town emerged but was not surveyed and gazetted until 1925. Locals here are involved in forestry or tourism. The 1913 sawmills were set up to provide the railway sleepers for the railway line between Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie. The get access to the timber felling areas a small tramway was established to carry the sawn logs. It is now the tourist tramway. After World War Two some soldier settler properties were offered in the district to try and increase the population. Pemberton has 1,200 mm of rain a year. The tram departs Pemberton, passes the old sawmill and travels deep into the Karri forest crossing six streams.
What shades of colors do you paint your world?
Golden glow of the sunset over the peaceful still of the ocean
Tan treasures of collectible pebbles upturned in a cultivated farmland
Chestnut browns of the freshly plowed fields in springtime
Orange milky glow of the sunrise over the waking village
Brilliant blue skies filled with fluffy white clouds
Crimson Red in the Poppy Fields of Dover
Earthy green tones of a summer's hike through the forest
White and greys and silvers of the found waterfall trickling down the mountainside

Turdus ignobilis is a widely distributed thrush species throughout northern South America and the Amazon, inhabiting a diverse set of habitats ranging from floodplain forests, white sand “campinas”, to highland forests (Andes and Tepuis). There are currently six known subspecies of T. ignobilis, which vary extensively phenotypically and also ecologically.
[ENG] The Chestnut forest of El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) it is a small forest of municipal property placed to approximately 1.100 m. of altitude in the header of the Reservation of Iruelas's Valley, to approximately 100 km from Madrid. It is the most extensive chestnut forest of the Central System, and on the autumnal station -the most showy and colouring- its paths are crossed by numerous visitors. Along the route we will be able to observe different species of trees and shrubs that they accompany on the chestnut-tree or form a part of the undergrowth of the chestnut forest (white hawthorn, hazel, elm of mountain, cherry, willows, holly, alder-tree, birch, heathers, ferns...). A section of the path passes parallel to the creek of the throat of the Yedra (Ivy), with it waters down all the year round and with a row of alder-trees that forming a small forest of gallery they wind close to the creek. With luck we can contemplate some species of birds of forest character (mocking-bird, blue climber, blackbird, thrush...).
[ESP] El Castañar de El Tiemblo (Ávila) es un pequeño bosque de propiedad municipal situado a unos 1.100 m. de altitud en las laderas de la Reserva del Valle de Iruelas, en la cabecera de la garganta de la Yedra, a unos 100 km. de Madrid. Es el castañar más extenso del Sistema Central, y en la estación otoñal –la más llamativa y colorida- sus senderos son recorridos por numerosos visitantes. A lo largo de la ruta podremos observar diferentes especies de árboles y arbustos que acompañan al castaño o forman parte del sotobosque del castañar (majuelo, avellano, olmo de montaña, cerezo silvestre, sauces, acebo, arraclán, abedul, brezos, helechos, ...). Un tramo del sendero discurre paralelo al arroyo de la garganta de la Yedra, con agua todo el año y con una hilera de alisos que formando un pequeño bosque de galería serpentean junto al arroyo. Con suerte podemos contemplar algunas especies de aves de carácter forestal (arrendajo, trepador azul, mirlo, zorzal...).
