Details for Toucan

• Toucan

  Toucans are medium to large-sized birds characterized by their enormous, brightly colored bills, which can be nearly as long as their bodies. Despite their size, these bills are surprisingly lightweight due to their hollow, keratinous structure. Found in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, toucans measure between 29 to 63 cm (11 to 25 inches) in length. They are primarily arboreal, feeding on fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. Their vibrant plumage, typically black with bright patches of yellow, orange, red, or green, makes them one of the most recognizable birds of the rainforest.
