The Bamboo Forest

Our Alebrijes come from the Bamboo Forest ecosystem. Some interesting facts about our ecosystem are that there are 1,600 species of bamboo in the world, and has over 10,000 documented uses.  We learned that hummingbirds have no sense of smell and is the only bird that can fly backward. In our ecosystem we are demonstrating how a baby panda and its mother communicate.
