About These Birds

Keel-billed Toucan

용골부리투칸은 중앙아메리카의 열대 우림에 서식하는 화려한 투칸 종이다. 무지개색의 화려한 부리가 가장 큰 특징으로 몸 크기에 비해 매우 크지만 속이 비어 있어 가볍다. 과일을 주로 먹으며 둥지는 나무 구멍을 이용한다.

Northern Fulmar

The northern fulmar is a long-lived seabird that can survive over 40 years. It defends its nest by projectile-vomiting a foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders, which can mat the feathers of predators and cause fatal loss of waterproofing. Fulmars have expanded their breeding range dramatically southward over the past two centuries.
