No.. TOUCANS are family of birds... belongs to family Ramphastidae.A Toucan is a bird. A tropical bird that lives in the rainforest and has a large beak used for cracking open nuts to be eaten as part of it's diet.
yes actually, there are very many zoos with toucans in them, like the zoo in san diego
The habits of various forms of Toucans (Ramphastidae) appear to be the same as other birds, that is, sleep during the night in nests in trees (varies with different species). One reference stated: "Toucans utter melodious calls many times in the late afternoon, continuing when most other birds have gone to rest, but are inactive at night. They also vocalize more during morning hours, and after rains. They prefer to remain high in trees, even bathing in the rainwater pools that form in the fork of a tree or on a thick horizontal branch."
How long is the bill of a Toucan?
Toucans come in many different sizes, as do their bills. The toco toucan is the biggest, and at 29 inches in length this bird has a bill that is about 14 to 16 inches long.
Is a toucan is it a reptile or a mammal?
No, they are birds.
-Nope they are not mammals that's not what mammal means. Mammals are their own class of animals, just like reptiles, birds, fish, etc.... Toucans are in class aves (birds) not mammalia (mammals)
Mammals include vertebrate animals which are both warm blooded and produce milk from modified sweat glands (teats) to nurse their young, and almost all mammals have live (viviparous) young. So there's a very big difference between birds (including toucans) and mammals.
As far as diet goes:
A carnivore eats other animals, so does an omnivore (omnivores eat both plant and animals matter).
ANSWER TWO:
Toucans are not mammals, they're birds. A mammal is a thing that has nipples and provides milk for their babies. We are mammals; so are dogs, cats, horses, etc., and believe it or not, a bat is a mammal- their nipples are on their armpits. I know, disgusting, right? Anyway, toucans are birds, they lay eggs and their offspring don't need milk.
