Famoso por su llamativo plumaje verdeazulado y su peculiar cola en\nforma de p\u00e9ndulo, el Toh es habitual en las cercan\u00edas de los cenotes, donde suele anidar y\nalimentarse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seg\u00fan la leyenda maya, este p\u00e1jaro alguna vez fue soberbio y holgaz\u00e1n. Un d\u00eda la comunidad de\naves de la regi\u00f3n comenz\u00f3 a prepararse para una gran tormenta, reuniendo insectos y gusanos. El\nToh fingi\u00f3 ayudar, pero escap\u00f3 para acomodarse entre algunas rocas y se durmi\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Despu\u00e9s de la tormenta, se sent\u00f3 entre los dem\u00e1s y se quej\u00f3 de cu\u00e1n agotador hab\u00eda sido el\ntrabajo. Los otros p\u00e1jaros se rieron del Toh y se\u00f1alaron su cola. Durante su siesta, su cola hab\u00eda\nsobresalido de su escondite y la tormenta le caus\u00f3 estragos, dejando solo dos feas plumas largas\ncolgando donde alguna vez estuvo su hermosa cola. El Toh sinti\u00f3 mucha verg\u00fcenza y en lugar de\nenfrentarse a las dem\u00e1s aves, baj\u00f3 de los \u00e1rboles y escap\u00f3 al inframundo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All\u00ed encontr\u00f3 su verdadero prop\u00f3sito: guiar a los viajeros hacia los cenotes, fuentes sagradas de\nagua y conexi\u00f3n espiritual para los antiguos mayas. Por eso, hoy se le considera un s\u00edmbolo\nm\u00edstico y un guardi\u00e1n natural de estos sitios sagrados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"La vanidad y el orgullo lo dejaron sin plumas: la leyenda del p\u00e1jaro Toh | #ElTrenDeLaSelva\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lQwUGmBpQAQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toh bird, also known as the Motmot, is one of the most iconic birds of the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula.
