When: June 25, 2021

Where: Ouwehands Dierenpark Rhenen, The Netherlands

Colorful babies are the best

Species: Keel-Billed Toucan (Zwavelborsttoekan)

Latin name: Ramphastos Sulfuratus

Originates from Southern Mexico to Venezuela and Colombia.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…They are also known as the Sulfur-Breasted Toucan and the Rainbow-Billed Toucan.

…Their bill may seem large and cumbersome, but in fact, the bill is a spongy and hollow bone covered in keratin.

…The Keel-Billed Toucan roosts in holes in trees, often with several other Toucans. These sleeping arrangements can be very tight, so they tuck their tails and beaks beneath their bodies to conserve space.

…These Birds are known to “play bill” – meaning, they by one throwing fruit in the other and the other seizing it.
