 In captivity, toco toucans live shorter lives, about 18 years, and often suffer from hemochromatosis (a disorder of iron metabolism).

It lays its eggs in the nests of about 300 birds, mostly of the passerine family.

A group of scientists managed to breed a royal blue tang in 2016, so hopefully captive-bred may be available in some time.

Many examples of the cane toad moving into a new area lead to a decline in that territory's biodiversity.

After the copulation he is responsible for taking care of the nest. He removes dead eggs with his mouth and uses pectoral fins to circulate water to provide it fresh and oxygen abundant.

The price of an individual can range from $10,000 to $20,000. Unfortunately, these birds do not reproduce in captivity.

It is crucial to handle them with care, since a careless encounter may result in amputation.
