The black and white body provides more protection in areas where the toucans should be less visible. Toco toucans live in holes in trees, where they tuck their bright beaks under their wings and draw up their tail feathers to cover the colors. This allows the toco toucan to blend into the dark hole and potentially avoid predators.
