The Toco Toucan is the largest and arguably most iconic toucan, instantly recognizable by its enormous, brightly colored orange bill and striking black and white plumage. It is a resident of various open habitats, from savannas to forest edges, where its presence is unmistakable.
Where to spot
Found in semi-open habitats, savannas, woodlands, and forest edges across much of central and eastern South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its immense, colorful bill and black-and-white body as it perches high on exposed branches. Listen for its deep, frog-like croaking calls. Its large size and bold colors make it relatively easy to spot.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most visible during the early morning and late afternoon as it forages or perches conspicuously. Breeding season typically occurs during the spring and summer months.

Despite its massive appearance, the Toco Toucan's bill is remarkably lightweight, composed of a bony framework covered by keratin and filled with air pockets.
