Predators: The predators of the toucan are raptors (large birds of prey) and men. 
 

Adaptations:  Toucans have three adaptations that help them survive.  The first one is that they have bills in order to eat food.  The second one is the feathers it has to protect their body.  The last one is that it's wings help them fly away from predators.
 

Interesting Facts:  Toucans live in the rainforests of Central and South America.  Scientists haven't figured out why the bills of the toucan are so big.  There are 37 different species of toucans.  They toucans live  in small communities.  Toucans are frugivors (animals that eat fruits).  Toucans are very noisy.  They sleep in holes that are in trees.  If they don't fit, they turn themeselves into a feathery ball to make their body smaller.
