Channel Billed Toucan (Ramphastos vitellinus)
The Channel Billed Toucan is a bird that can be seen or heard on our campus very often, since they live on the treetops that surround the buildings where classes take place.
This bird usually has an orange throat and chest, a broad red band below the chest, red uppertail-coverts, a yellowish base to the bill, and red skin around the pale blue eye.
A medium-large Toucan is generally 45-55 cm (18-22 in) long. Males are larger and longer-billed than females. The bills are generally about 9-14 cm (3½-5½ in) long.
Four Examples of the Effect of the Abiotic Factors of the Ecosystem:
1.Some animal depend on a certain temperature for their bodies to carry out normal functions.
2.Some fruits that are used as food can only grow on a certain temperature.
3.Plants also depend on sun-light to produce fruits.
4.The color of some animals depend on the amount of sun-light they are exposed to.
