Toco Toucan

Description:

"Toco Toucans" are very loud communicators with various means of sound production. Their repertoire consists of deep, course croaking that is repeated on a consistent basis. A rattling call is also a common form of conversation in this species. Besides vocal communication, they use bill-clacking as a form of auditory communication. Like all birds, "Toco Toucans" perceive their environment through visual, auditory, tactile, and chemical stimuli. In Brazil, also known how "Tucanuçu" and "tucanaçu", that come from Tupi "tukanu'su", that means "Big Tucan".

Habitat:

I found this specimen in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
