Aracaris are a type of toucan, known for their vibrant, colourful bills, which are surprisingly lightweight because they are filled with air pockets. The serrated edges help them grip and open fruit. Aracaris are found in the tropical forests of South America, particularly in the Amazon basin and the Guianas. They are social birds, often living in small flocks and roosting together in tree cavities. These birds are primarily frugivores (fruit-eaters) but also consume insects and sometimes even small animals.
