Toucan Coloring Pages: 12 Printable Drawings

Different species of Toucan

There are several species of Toucans, each with unique characteristics. The Red-billed Toucan, also known as Ramphastos Toccus, is one of the most well-known species. It is recognizable by its bright red bill and crest of feathers on top of its head. The Black-billed Toucan, or Melanerpes erythrocephalus, is recognizable by its black bill and red head. It's interesting to note that the colors of their bills are not due to pigments, but to the reflection of light on special cells called "lenticules".

Toucans live in groups in the tropical forests of Central and South America. They primarily feed on fruits, but also insects and small animals. Toucans are very social and spend a lot of time bathing and grooming each other. They also have a unique way of greeting each other by touching their beaks.
