A Toucan's large colorful beak is about 7 ½ inches long and is made of a thin, flat layer around honeycomb-shaped bone. Beak edges are rough and saw-like, giving them a firm grip on slippery fruits. The long beak helps the heavy toucan reach fruits on tiny branches that could not support the bird's weight. If you looked at Toucan directly in both eyes, his beak would have a flat, vertical appearance.
