The toucan is a medium-sized hen native to the rain forests of significant and South america and the Caribbean. There are greater than 40 one-of-a-kind species of toucan that inhabit the South American jungles today.
The toucan is first-rate recognised for it is big colorful beak that in spite of it is big size, is highly light because of the reality that it's far made of a substance known as keratin (the equal substance that makes up the nails and hair of many animals inclusive of human beings) . The toucan's beak measures around half the toucans frame duration and is used for mating, feeding and defence functions. The toucan's bill however, is not mainly robust and so it's far used greater to intimidate predators instead of to combat them off.

The toucan's wingspan is more or less the same period because the toucans body. even though the toucan is able to fly, the toucan is not excellent at flying and can not be within the air for terribly long. rather than the use of their wings to get around, the toucan hops between the tree branches the usage of it curved feet and sharp claws to get an excellent grip on the narrow surface that it holds on to.

Toucans have a number of predators within the South American jungle along with people, big birds of prey and wild cats. Weasels, snakes and rats generally tend to prey greater at the eggs of the toucan in preference to the toucan itself (many small animals are normally intimidated by means of the toucan's huge invoice).
despite the fact that toucans are commonly solitary when feeding, toucans frequently live in small organizations of around 6 or 7 birds. the brilliant shades of the toucan offers the toucan camouflage in the colourful rainforest canopy. however, because of their vivid hues, toucans are often captured and offered as pets with toucans being famous animals in the exotic pet exchange.
Toucans construct their nest in bushes in lay round three eggs. while the toucan chicks hatch, both the male toucan and the woman toucan help to feed them and guard them from predators. The toucan chicks are born with small beaks that do not attain their full size for as a minimum a few months.
