6/6 Mystery Image #1: It’s a Koolookamba
That’s right, you guessed it! This tree shades guests along the Forest Walk entry path in the Zoo’s newest habitat, The African Forest, which opened in December of 2010. Now home to our giraffes, ostriches, rhinos, kudu and a family of chimpanzees, The African Forest has several shady spots for guests (and animals)… and don’t forget that the chimp viewing area is even air-conditioned!
This tree is special on Houston Zoo grounds, not just for the shade it provides, but for the hidden image on its trunk. When viewed closely, this tree reveals a Hidden Koolookamba!
What’s a Koolookamba you ask? In the 1800’s explorers in Africa reported sightings of a mysterious ape-like creature that resembled the cross between a chimpanzee and a gorilla. This mysterious animal, called the Koolookamba, has become the African equivalent of the Yeti or Bigfoot.
Hidden among the 6.5 acres of The African Forest, 31 more Koolookamba images await you. Can you find them all on your next visit? Be sure to visit our Koolookamba tracking guide before your next visit so you can join in on the fun!
Hope you enjoy Mystery Image Monday! Be sure to check back with us next Monday, and every Monday throughout our entire TXU Energy Presents Chill Out at the Houston Zoo summer!
