Ever thought about what a Toucan would look like without a beak? It's haunted me ever since I thought about it myself.

what would you look like without a jaw?

It still counts if the prey dies of laughter!

Not to be the annoying one, but they also are famous for eating eggs and even young birds from the nest, and I consider that very metal

Joke aside, there is a legitimate point to be made, because plant - herbivore interactions can be modeled similarly to predator - prey interactions. That also works to s certain degree for parasite - host interactions.

OK but what about the video I saw last week of toucans catching and eating fucking BATS

[–] ArtemisimetrA@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

Different video, they're just eating a bat in this one, but there's a video somewhere of two toucans sitting high in a tree literally just waiting for the bats to swarm close enough and when they do they get snapped up

I actually got to play with a toucan once, their beaks aren't very powerful, and they can be very friendly.

Very silly screechy little fellows.
