How Fast Is Toucan?

17.0 m/s
61.2 km/h · 38.0 mph

Toucans fly at 60 km/h despite a beak one-third their body length. The beak is near-weightless — bone lattice with thin keratin sheathing — and acts as a temperature regulator, releasing or retaining heat as needed.

Toucan beaks have an internal honeycomb structure — making them strong enough to crack nuts despite weighing almost nothing.
