Rainforest; Angela 5-303

The Keel-billed toucan is about twenty inches (50 centimeters) long. The Keel-billed toucan’s enormous bill is up to one-third of its length. The bill is brightly colored, light-weight, and edged with tooth margins. It has four toes on each foot; two toes pointing forward and two pointing backwards. Males are slightly larger than females, but their coloration is similar.
Keel-billed toucans eat mostly fruit, but also bird eggs, insects, and tree frogs. Keel- billed toucans swallow fruit without even chewing it. Then they regurgitate the seeds; this scatters viable seeds in the rainforest.
