Keeled Billed Toucan
Uploaded: March 21, 2015 19:34:44 | Entered: May 27, 2015 22:40:56
The keel-billed toucan is the national bird of Belize. In its native region, toucans are associated with evil spirits and are thought to be the incarnation of a demon. In certain religions of South and Central America, the father of a new child must not eat toucan flesh as it might bewitch the newborn and cause it to fade away. The toucan can also be a tribal totem and the medicine man can use it as an incarnation to fly to the spirit world.
Taken at the Los Angeles Zoo.
