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.
Southern Cassowary
The southern cassowary is often called the most dangerous bird in the world due to its powerful legs and dagger-like inner claw that can reach 12 cm in length. Despite this reputation, cassowaries are vital rainforest keystone species, dispersing seeds of plants that no other animal can. The purpose of their distinctive casque remains debated.
