Esta foto me causó gracia por la forma en la que el Calancate sostiene la nuez. Ambas cosas (calancates y nueces) son muy abundantes, y alimentan también a otros pájaros como el Chiricote (Aramides cajanea) y el Calancate Cara Roja (Aratinga mitrata), como también a algunos mamíferos que la aprovechan.
