toucan

Jungle's colorful beak

A toucan is a tropical American bird with brilliantly colored plumage and an enormous, lightweight bill that can be as long as its body.

Toucans live in rainforest canopies and nest in tree hollows.

The oversized bill, despite its cartoonish appearance, helps the bird reach fruit on branches too thin to support its weight.
