A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Aside from this picture, they are taken from my college campus. I decided to focus on this however because I use ayayotes yet had no idea where they come from. I've learned a lot by simply uploading this image :) and I personally think your collection has much more to offer :)
Thank you for the recommendation haha
Hm... Very interesting :) many dancers use them as rattles as well, the sound is made when the hollowed shells bump into one another.
It's sad to read that article but there's an understandable reason for their opinion. It is not my picture, can't take credit for other's work but thank you :)
Any information is greatly valued. I apologize for my lack of knowledge of its use around other countries. My exposure to it is different than yours but both perspectives are respectable. Here in the Americas, the ayayotl is used for entertainment, ceremony, music etc. etc. I invite anyone reading this to add more information and sightings of their own since images, information, and sighting locations are scarce. Thank you all very much.
