Ramphastos Toco, the unique scientific name of toucans. Living up to 20 years, eating mostly fruits and small rodents, weighing around 1.9 pounds and its maximum length being 24 inches, the toucan is a very curious, sociable and generous creature which mostly lives in groups of 22 or less. Sadly, as humans destroy habitats and the world becomes warmer, the fate of toucans and the ecosystem they live in is uncertain. Toucans will evolve by eating more rodents and less fruits, as fruit trees will probably be cut down. For this last reason they will need longer wings to fly greater distances as there will be less trees to rest on. They will probably separate from the groups they live in as they only can care about themselves and not other creatures. Lastly, to survive, their color will become more dull to blend in the less vibrant environment.
