• Toucans nest in tree cavities and lay 2-4 spotted eggs. The young remain dependent on parents for months.
• Most fruit-eating toucan species travel and forage in family groups, using loud calls to stay in contact.
• That large bill is actually very lightweight due to its structure of thin bone supported by air sacs.
• Toucans play important roles dispersing seeds after eating fruit and supporting forest ecosystems.
