What does TOUCAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A tropical American bird with a huge, brightly coloured bill and mostly black plumage.
The toucan uses its oversized bill to reach fruit on thin branches and to peel it, and the bill is surprisingly light because it is hollow and made of a honeycomb of bone. The birds live in forests from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, and the bill colours differ by species. The name passed into English through Spanish and Portuguese from a word in the Tupi language.
