Ever thought about what a Toucan would look like without a beak? It's haunted me ever since I thought about it myself.

The truth revealed

[–] azi@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

what would you look like without a jaw?

[–] gigiocor@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 2 months ago

Not to be the annoying one, but they also are famous for eating eggs and even young birds from the nest, and I consider that very metal

Have toucan, can confirm.

I actually got to play with a toucan once, their beaks aren't very powerful, and they can be very friendly.

Very silly screechy little fellows.

They look like nightmare pets but oh boy do I want to play with one.

I always dreamed of being an or perhaps a berry!

OK but what about the video I saw last week of toucans catching and eating fucking BATS

[–] ArtemisimetrA@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Different video, they're just eating a bat in this one, but there's a video somewhere of two toucans sitting high in a tree literally just waiting for the bats to swarm close enough and when they do they get snapped up

This is the first one I saw

Joke aside, there is a legitimate point to be made, because plant - herbivore interactions can be modeled similarly to predator - prey interactions. That also works to s certain degree for parasite - host interactions.

It still counts if the prey dies of laughter!
