Next Generation Science

This educational video provides a comprehensive introduction to toucans, colorful birds native to tropical rainforests. It begins by identifying the toucan's physical anatomy, clearly labeling parts such as the tail, wing, foot, eye, and its most famous feature, the bill. The narration explains unique biological adaptations, noting that while the bill is massive—the largest of all birds relative to body size—it is surprisingly light and has serrated edges like a knife to help tear food.
