Animal of the Day!

Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus)

Conservation Status- Near Threatened

Habitat- Central America; Northern South America

Size (Weight/Length)- 500 g; 50 cm

Diet- Fruits; Lizards; Eggs; Insects; Bird eggs

Cool Facts- Despite being one-third of the keel-billed toucan’s body, their bill is relatively light. The bill is made up of keratin and is used for a mix of fruit gathering, courtship, and heat regulation. Living in small flocks, the keel-billed toucan spends their days flying from tree to tree in search of ripe fruit. When fruit is in short supply, they snatch lizards from trees and eggs from nests. During the breeding season, males and females pair up and split off from their main flock. The bigger the male’s bill, the more likely a female picks him for the season. Both mom and dad incubate the eggs and raise the chicks, of which are completely helpless until about three weeks old when their eyes open. The chicks stay with their parents for about nine weeks before fledging and seeking a flock of their own. 

Rating- 12/10 (Built in air conditioning.)

Nothing special, I drew a toucan.

Really wanted to draw a toucan, and then gotten sick, so this is the end result of that.

It's... cute...

Keel-billed Toucan

The Keel-billed Toucan, native to South America, is noteworthy for its brightly colored beak. It serves this purpose as an attractive factor for females in the breeding season and as a defense when necessary. Its body consists mainly of black feathers and has a yellow neck and breast region with intricate blends of blue-green algae and yellow on its face, making it hard to look away from!

To their beauty, they are highly social creatures living together in flocks of up to thirty birds strong while scavenging food like fruit, insects, lizards, eggs, or young birds without any issue. Getting close enough so you can appreciate them fully would definitely make your experience memorable since these majestic creatures should certainly go down into anyone’s list of must-see wildlife animals due to having such unique features that wouldn’t stay unnoticed by admirers who’s focus lays elsewhere than just fine wingspan shapes alone.
