Toucan Toco

• Smooth • 🌿

 

Good evening everyone ! I hope you are well ?

 

It is the largest of the 42 toucans, here is the Toucan Toco.

Its long beak, about 20 centimeters, is a third of its size. Bulky certainly, but with its alveolar bone structure, this beak is very light and strong. Perfect for impressing opponents during love displays, it is also used to grab fruit on branches that would not support its weight.

Unlike other birds that bathe at ground level, toucans do so in trees. They use for this the puddles of rain water retained in the hollow of the large trunks.

 

I really hope you like this shot 🍃

 

Good night ! 😁
