NEWS FROM PANAMA


This is a Keel-billed Toucan that I took a picture of in Panama City. In Spanish, it would be called (Tucan Pico Iris). Including it's bill, it can be from 17 to 22 inches long (45-55 cm).
The bill of the toucan is a spongy, hollow bone covered with keratin, a light and strong protein.
Toucans are very social birds.
