  only. Its nickname is the bicycle Lizard.

  huge beak. The Toucan lives in small flocks in
  lowland tropical rainforests. It doesn't fly very
  well and moves mostly by hopping around trees.

  croaking call that sounds like RRRRK.

  is native to warm lowland streams and lakes in
  South America, east of the Andes Mountains.
  Piranhas have been introduced to other places,
  including Northern Brazil, Hawaii, and parts of
  Central and North America. There are many species
  of piranha that I cant count them! They produce
  by laying eggs.

  south-east Asia. These apes mostly live in trees
  (they are arboreal) and swing from branch to
  branch using their arms.
