Kill Billed Toucan

Ramphastos sulfuratus

Description:

Photo take in a jungle path in a remote area near a cenote or sink hole this beauty land very close to me on top of a tree next it make a jump and land next to me on a branch only can take 2 shots from it that close it look at me for a second and then left away wow everything stop for a moment. Including its bill, the Keel-billed Toucans ranges in length from around 45cm. Their large and colorful bill averages around14 cm, about one-third of its length. While the bill seems large and cumbersome, it is in fact a spongy, hollow bone covered in keratin, a very light and hard protein.

Habitat:

Found on tropical and subtropical areas from South México to Colombia and Venezuela.

Wonderful! I thought the "Kill Bill" was because this reminded you of Uma Thurman in a yellow jumpsuit!
