Nr. 36 – N9°11’31”, W83°43’40” | The “flying banana”Nr. 36 – N9°11’31”, W83°43’40” | The “flying banana”. Toucans are renowned for their large colorful bills. They have the longest bill of any bird in the world in relation to their body size (around 1/3). Despite its size, the toucan's bill is very light as it is made of keratin (like human hair) in a honeycomb-like structure. This is a Black-mandibled toucan, the biggest of the 6 toucans in Costa Rica. They are known as bullies. Since they are bigger than the others, they will bully the others for food and territory. | Hills of Uvita – Costa Rica – Central America
