Answer:
The toucan has developed a very large beak which allows it to reach fruit on lighter branches. adjusting the flow of blood to their beak. They tuck their beak under their wings when they sleep to keep warm. They have adapted to live in the canopy as they don't fly very well.
In the wild, the longevity of the toco toucan is typically 20 years, which might extend up to a maximum of 26. However, in captivity, their lifespan decreases to about 18 years.
