The Quiz: The chestnut-eared aracari seen in today’s photo belongs to what family of bird?
A Toucan
B Hornbill
C Flamingo
Don’t be thrown off because the name mentions ears—it’s the nose that matters here. Like all members of the toucan family, the chestnut-eared aracari has a long, colorful bill. That distinguishing trait is what makes toucans and their relatives some of the most popular and well-known birds—even though they only live in Central and South America.
The correct answer to this quiz is Toucan.
