Toucans belong to a family of Ramphastidae and are found in the regions of Southern Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean regions. Toucans are clearly recognized with their large and brightly colored bills that they use mainly to feed themselves. They use them to reach the fruits and skin them before eating them. Toucans are not born with these large bills, they grow and develop to its full size within a few months.

Toucans feed on fruits, insects and at times young birds, eggs and lizards. While they usually eat fruits, they are opportunistically omnivorous as well. Toucans live in tree holes and are common mascots in cereal and other product marketing campaigns.

Snakes are part of the animal group, reptiles. Reptiles are cold blooded animals that have the ability to change their body temperatures. They lie in the sun to raise the temperature and crawl into the shade to lower their body temperature.

With almost 2700 species around the world, snakes have the ability to live almost anywhere-the deserts, forests, jungle, ocean, lakes, ground, trees and more. They only can't survive in grounds that stay frozen throughout the year.

Snakes are carnivorous and feed on small animals like lizards, small mammals, fish, eggs, birds, snails and insects. They tend to swallow their prey as a whole as they can neither bite nor tear their food. The size of their food depends on their own size-the smaller the snake, the smaller the prey.
