A colourful toucan named „Collared aracari“ (Pteroglossus torquatus) sits on a branch in the very dense, green jungle of Central America.
Collared aracari (Pteroglossus torquatus) are ca. 41cm large and weights about 230g. The sexes are alike in appearance, with a black head and chest and dark olive green upperparts, apart from a red rump and upper tail. There is reddish collar on the rear neck which gives rise to the English and scientific (torquatus) names. The underparts are bright yellow, with a round black spot in the centre of the breast and a red-tinted black band across the belly. The thighs are chestnut. The upper part of the bill is yellow, marked with a black saw-tooth pattern on the cutting edge, and a black tip.
