The toco toucan is the largest toucan in the world. They grow to be about 26 inches in length, over a third of which is the bill. They use the tip of the bill to toss berries and other food into the air before catching it in their mouth. Each morning, two toco toucans would come looking for breakfast in a tree just outside the lodge I was staying at in the Pantanal.

This one is even better looking than the guy on the Froot Loops box.
I think he’s eating a Fruit Loop.

Hey D,
Yes, that is in fact his tongue. Very long.
What an exceptional bird! Pretty good timing on your part with that there berry!
