A medium-sized tropical bird related to toucans, found in Central and South America, known for its colorful beak and plumage.
From Tupi 'ara' (a designation for large birds) plus 'cari' (to eat or referring to a type of food). Portuguese naturalists adopted the indigenous name.
Aracaris are mini-toucans with equally wild beaks—and like toucan and macaw, the name comes straight from indigenous South American languages that Europeans just kept using!
