Toucans(巨嘴鸟), a colorful bird. Take a look at these facts about toucans, and you may lean something you didn't know before.
Where do they live
Toucans can be found in the tropical(热带的)forests of South America. Their home is still in danger. The government asks people not to buy rainforest wood. It's important to protect the habitat(栖息地)of toucans.
What do they look like
Toucans have a black body and a white neck. The colorful beak is about 8 inches long. It makes up 1/3 of the bird's total length. It may look pretty big, but thankfully, for the toucan, the beak is not too heavy. It is made of keratin(角蛋白), which makes it much lighter than you would think just by looking.
What do they eat and drink
Toucans use their beaks to eat different kinds of fruits, which happens to be the kind of food they eat most often. Sometimes toucans will choose to snack on insects, frogs, and the eggs of their birds. Toucans get most of their water from the fruit they eat so they don't need to drink too much water.
Believe it or not!
Toucans can be rather lazy birds and they like to stay in one place generally. They don't fly high up in the sky or very far away from home. They enjoy staying in trees with their delicious fruit to eat.
