The Toco
Toucan,Ramphastos toco,, occurs
from Guiana to Bolivia and northern Argentina. It is 25 inches long and is the largest of the Toucans.
It prefers open habitats, such as woodlands, river forests, plantations, and palm grooves. It is commonly observed near human dwellings, and it is abundant throughout its range.
The Toco Toucan eats mainly fruit and uses its large bill as a tool for picking it. It also feeds on seeds, spiders, insects, eggs and an occasional lizard or bird.
