ZOO...de la Banque... Les Toucans. Museo Del Banco Central. Parque Ornitologico. Centro de Avifauna. Collection Of BirdLife. WIKIPEDIA TOUCAN : Rôle du bec Le toucan régule sa température grâce à son bec. Glenn Tattersall, de la Brock University (Canada), a trouvé un rôle à cet appendice qui représente près de la moitié de la surface corporelle de ces oiseaux. En les filmant en infrarouge, dès que la température dépasse 16°C, le bec du toucan s'échauffe jusqu'à une dizaine de degrés supplémentaire. Dans cet organe richement vascularisé, c'est le sang qui joue le rôle de liquide de refroidissement. Les vaisseaux, contractés pour éviter la déperdition de chaleur lorsqu'il fait froid, sont dilatés et irradient de la chaleur vers l'extérieur quand la température ambiante augmente. Comme dans les oreilles de l'éléphant, à la différence que la climatisation du toucan est quatre fois plus efficace que celle du pachyderme. ... Le nom français semble être directement emprunté (1557) au tupi « tucana » qui signifierait « bec osseux ». Dans son grand bec, sa longue langue lui permet d'attraper et de manger des insectes, des fruits et des graines.
