Summary
[edit]_(2855068348).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Toco toucans have the largest bill of any toucan. The bill is orange crimson, fading to greenish yellow. There's a large black oval blotch near the tip of bill, and a narrow black line at the base. The most prominent feature of toucans is their bills, which are much lighter in weight than they appear. These large, boldly colored bills give them a distinctly out-of-balance appearance. A thin horny outer sheath encloses a hollow which is crisscrossed by many thin, bony, supporting rods. It has serrated edges which help to tear off pieces of larger fruits. Within the bill, the tongue is bristly and narrow, resembling a feather. It reaches to the tip of the bill. The varied patterns of toucans' bills may help these birds to recognize each other or attract a mate. |
