Sound on! This is why it's called a laughing kookaburra. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

🔊 SOUND ON FOR A CONTAGIOUS LAUGH! 😆 The laughing kookaburra gets its common name from their iconic "laughing" call. This call is a crucial form of communication within their social groups, used for various purposes like territory marking, contact calls, and alarm signals. #Funfact - their calls are often mistaken for monkeys, and you can often hear the sound of kookaburras used in movies with jungle scenes! | Roger Williams Park Zoo & Carousel Village
