Description
When: October 13, 2018Where: Texel Zoo Oosterend Texel, The Netherlands
This really is a somewhat different looking Turaco, with that white face and dark face mask. They're also not all that common, so you can imagine how pleased were to see them still here at this zoo, where we first fell in love with Turacos in their full abundance
Species: White-Crested Turaco (Witkuiftoerako)
Latin name: Tauraco Leucolophus
Originates from the riverine forest and woodland in a belt between eastern Nigeria and western Kenya.
Current status: Least Concern

Thank you
Yes, they really are! I love how different they are from most other, predominantly green-faced Turacos

It's a white-crested Turaco! Native to woodland and riverine forests in central Africa.

Oh shoot, I lost my info in this one
This is pretty much still the only zoo that has them, they used to be more plentiful but many species of Turacos are kind of disappearing from zoos... Glad to have come across this one, and being sleepy and yawning too
