Captured in Cebu Philippines...
The Crocolandia Foundation Inc., founded in 2001, is a nature conservation center located in Talisay City, Cebu, Philippines. The park houses birds, lizards, snakes, and crococodiles. The park also breeds endangered animals such as the Philippine crocodile and the sailfin lizard. The park's most famous resident is Lapu-Lapu, an estuarine crocodile. Other animals include civets, Rufous Hornbill, ostrich, monitor lizards, turtles, deer and a Visayan warty pig. The park also has a museum, a library, gardens, and fishponds. The park is the first of its kind in Central Visayas.
The White Cockatoo, Cacatua alba (also known as the Umbrella Cockatoo) is a medium-sized, up to 46 cm long cockatoo endemic to the islands of Halmahera, Bacan, Ternate, Tidore, Kasiruta and Mandiole in North Maluku, Indonesia. It is a white parrot with brown or black eyes and a dark grey beak. If it is surprised, it extends a large and striking crest, which has a semicircular shape (similar to an umbrella, hence the alternative name). The crest is normally recumbent. The underside of the wings and tail have pale yellow or lemon colour, which flash when they fly.
The White Cockatoo can live up to, and perhaps beyond, 80 years in age. |
