A tropical bird with brightly colored feathers and a very large, often colorful beak.
It comes from Portuguese 'tucano', from Tupi (a native Brazilian language) 'tukana' or similar forms. Europeans borrowed the word along with the bird from South America.
A toucan’s huge beak looks heavy, but it’s mostly hollow and surprisingly light, like a natural piece of foam armor. Its beak also helps it control body temperature, acting like a built-in radiator.
