This bird’s bill glows like a flame against the green rainforest.
The Fiery-billed Aracari is a colorful toucan found in the rainforests of Costa Rica and western Panama. Its striking orange-and-red bill is impossible to miss, while its diet of fruits, insects, eggs, and small animals makes it an adaptable forest forager. By swallowing fruits whole and dispersing seeds, it plays an important role in maintaining the health of tropical forests.
A vibrant jewel of the rainforest, proving that nature’s brightest colors often serve an important purpose.
