Toucan Facts
Toucans are members of the Neotropical near passerine bird family Ramphastidae. The Ramphastidae are most closely related to the American barbets. They are brightly marked and have large, often-colourful bills. The family includes five genera and over forty different species.
The Toco Toucan is actually the largest toucan of all the species, measuring in at a whopping 25 inches (63.5 cm) with an 8 inch (19cm) neon orange beak.
The toucans colourful brilliance is actually smartly designed camouflage for the rainforest, allowing them to hide amongst the South American plants.
The toucan’s enormous bill means that when compared to the size of its body, it has the largest bill of all the world’s birds.
Toucans are actually an endangered species due to their habitat being destroyed with the removal of huge chunks of rainforest, but as toucans adapt so quickly, they are able to survive.
South America is the home of the toucan. The rainforest bird has over 40 species in their spectrum.
Toucans take shelter in hollowed out trees usually created by Woodpeckers.
