Di̇scover #BrazilianWildlife with the Toco Toucan.
The Toco toucan is the largest and probably best-known species in the toucan family. They weigh around 500-800 g. Their colourful and extremely large bill accounts for nearly half of their body length, of up to 65 cm (25 inches).
Toco toucans are omnivores, feeding mainly on fruits, berries, nuts, insects, frogs, small reptiles, small birds, and bird’s eggs. In the wild their lifespan is 18–26 years and they are typically found in woodlands, grasslands, savannas and other open areas with scattered trees.
#VisitBrazil and spot toucans at the Iguazu Falls – one of the new 7 wonders of nature – the Pantanal – the world's largest tropical wetland area – and the tropical savanna of the Cerrado, in the heart of Brazil.

#BrazilianFood with Coconut Bonbons (bala baiana).
In Brazil, these sweets are known as bala baiana (candy from Bahia) or bala de vidro (glass bonbons). They are very common at children's celebrations, and also appreciated by adults as a dessert to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth.
The origin of the coconut candy is still debated, but it probably emerged in Bahia, in Northeastern 🇧🇷. In this region, where coconut and sugar are abundant, a combination between local indigenous, African and Portuguese cultural influences probably resulted in the bala baiana.
Coconut bonbons have either a round or oval shape with a hard or semi-hard outer shell, fudgy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. They are a heavenly treat great for parties or to gift friends and family.
