What makes the botanical gaarden unique is that it's in the middle of the city center but because of its ecosystem, it is home to many animals and plants that otherwise couldnt live there. I have only see this bird at the garden, along with many other unique plants and wildlife.
The toco toucan uses its beak to eat fruits and catch insects and small anmals. Due to its unique color, it blends in well with its enviornment of colorful plants. It uses bird calls to warn others about predators. Its beak also helps to regulate its body tremperature, which is critical in a hot and humid place like Brazil.
Like many other wildlife, the toco toucan is at risk due to climate change and habitat loss due to industrialization. That is why areas like the botanical garden are important as a means of preservation for animals and plants.
