There is a greenish sheen to the black wings of the male Green Aracari (top left) and the female has dark green or khaki wings (top right). He has a black head and she a chestnut brown head. They both have pale yellow fronts, a yellow and red top bill and red/orange rumps.

They are native to northeastern South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam).

The bill's long reach and serrated edge is for eating fruit from trees.
