Toucans are a group of over forty species of colorful bird native to the forests of southern Mexico, Central America and South America. The toucan family of birds comprises the araçaris, toucanets and toucans, all of which are renowned for their large, colorful beaks that in some species measure more than half their body length. The araçaris are a genus of medium-sized toucans with colorful plumage and contrastingly patterned beaks. The toucanets comprise two genera of relatively small toucans with differing plumage. Whilst one toucanet genus is made up of birds with predominantly green plumage, the other is sexually dichromatic, thus males and females exhibit different plumage colors and patterns.
