Toucans have long beaks primarily for feeding and thermoregulation. Their elongated bills allow them to reach fruit and insects in hard-to-access areas of trees, making it easier to foraging for food. Additionally, the large surface area of their beaks helps dissipate heat, allowing them to regulate their body temperature in warm tropical climates.
Toucans are found from north-central Mexico south through Central America to northern Argentina in South America. The feet have two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward. There are approximately 40 known species of toucans. The toucan's body is anywhere from 13 to 25 inches long.Their bodies are usually colored with black, white, red, yellow, blue, and green feathers.
Toucans can grow to about 60cm (2 ft) long.

Toucans have long claws to help them grip and climb on branches in the rainforest canopy. They use their claws for balance and to reach fruits or insects in the trees. Their claws are also important for defense against predators.
At around six weeks of age, baby toucans start becoming mature enough to learn to fly.
