Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus)

Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus). The Toucan (Ramphastos sulphuratus), also known as the "Boat-billed Toucan", is distributed mainly from Mexico to Venezuela and Colombia. This bird's most notable feature is its surprisingly large beak, shaped like an upside-down boat. The structure of this beak is also very special, consisting of thin bones that help support it. Thanks to that, although the beak is large, it does not make them too heavy.This unique beak has sharp edges, like a serrated kitchen knife, allowing the Toucan to peck at hard fruits and other foods. Thanks to its "bulky" beak, this bird can consume most fruits.
