How is a toucan predator and also prey?

Toucans are not typically considered to be predators, as their diet primarily consists of fruits, berries, and insects. They do, however, have adaptations that allow them to defend themselves against predators. Their large, powerful beaks can be used to peck at potential threats, and their bright coloration may serve as a warning signal to other animals.

Toucans are also prey for a variety of animals, including snakes, cats, and birds of prey. Their large size and bright coloration make them easy to spot, and their slow flight makes them vulnerable to attack. To reduce their risk of predation, toucans often live in flocks and sleep in tree hollows.
