Clues describe an animal whose groups are called mobs, in which males kickbox to show dominance, whose scientific name means "a very large animal with long feet," that can escape from predators at up to 35 miles per hour, and that is specially adapted for jumping. The last clue is a zoomed-in photo of the mystery animal's grey fur. Viewers are invited to guess the animal in the comments and check back tomorrow for the answer.

While sloth bears are famous for loving ants and termites, they also enjoy a special treat: fruit!

Kartick the sloth bear is digging into a juicy, sweet, refreshing cantaloupe. At Sunset Zoo, we prepare a variety of meals for the animal residents to keep things interesting while ensuring they get the balanced nutrition they need to stay healthy.

After piecing it all together, there’s only one conclusion left!

It’s Neta and Tucker, the white-handed gibbons. If you visit the Zoo right when it opens at 9:30 a.m., you might have the opportunity to hear Neta and Tucker’s morning song.

Thank you to everyone who heard the song and sleuthed out this mystery. Until next time!
