In the rainforest, there are lots of animals that use their tails for practical purposes. One example is the monkey. Monkey’s swing from tree to tree using their tails. Today, Miss Krista, our zoo animal expert, introduced us to two animals that have significant uses for their tails.
Meet Angelina: She is a type of bird called a galaf. She likes to be in trees with bright pink flowers. She eats seeds, nuts and fruits. Her tail has two uses: to balance in trees and to help slow her down to land when she is flying.
Meet Cornflower: He is a blue tongued lizard. He uses his tongue to smell. He eats flies, worms, flowers and loves snails! His tail is used to help him climb rocks.
