SCIENTIFIC NAME:Andigena hypoglauca POPULATION: Unknown IUCN STATUS: Near Threatened TREND: Decreasing HABITAT: Cloud forest in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The colorful Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan inhabits chilly, damp, mountainous terrain, unlike its larger lowland relatives theChannel-billedandKeel-billedToucans. In fact, its genus name Andigena means “coming from the Andes Mountains” — a nod to this toucan’s sloping habitat.
The Gray-breasted Mountain-Toucan can be differentiated from the three other mountain-toucan species by its red-, yellow-, and black-banded bill and, in one subspecies, its piercing yellow eyes.
