Best Answer

The short and simple answer is that it is both predator and prey.

A typical toucan's diet consists mainly of fruit. However, toucans are known to eat small snakes and lizards, insects, and the eggs and nestlings of other small birds as part of their diet.

Toucans are the prey of larger predatory birds such as hawks as well as predator cats such as the jaguar.

Both actually. While Keel-billed toucans mainly eat fruit, they will also eat reptiles, bird eggs and insects. The toucans themselves are hunted by large Birds of Prey and humans.
