That pose is not what many people think. These toucans raise their tails immediately before taking flight. It only lasts a second, so it is lucky to get this photo.
Like other toucans, the Emerald Toucanet is brightly marked and has a large bill. The adult is 30–35 cm (12–14 in) long. The sexes are alike in appearance, although the female generally is smaller and slightly shorter-billed.
The Emerald Toucanet is a generally common in humid forest and woodland, mainly at higher elevations.
