Taco

Taco the Toucan is a Toco toucan who lives in the South American landscape.

Physical Appearance

Taco has a plumage of black feathers around his body. He has pale yellow skin around the eyes, an orange lightweight beak with yellow culmen, and a pair of iridescent blue feet. His appearance resembles more of a real-life Toco toucan.

Personality

At first, Taco is shown to have an antagonistic personality towards Adam in the first place - often showing a rather snooty personality. He likes to bring in traps to scare Adam on his progress to find Annie in a plan to prank the former, alongside Jazz and Leopoldo. As soon as Adam found Annie, the latter appears and scares Taco away alongside Jazz and Leopoldo. Later afterwards, Taco showed a less antagonistic personality to Adam and Annie, alongside Jazz and Leopoldo. He also likes to rush up with the animals and is usually a bit of impatient. However, despite that, he even worked together with Jazz, Leopoldo, Annie, and Adam to open a treasure chest on a mysterious mountain.

Trivia

  • Taco's name is a reference to the Mexican food of the same name with Taco himself being a toucan which is also found in Mexico in real life.
    • However, while he is named after the Mexican food of the same name, the Toco toucan (which Taco is based on) is found only in South America in real life; the toucan species found in Mexico (a country in Central America where tacos are commonly enjoyed in this country which conversely Taco himself is named after) in real life is a keel-billed toucan.
  • In Japan, his name is spelled as "Tako" ( タコ). The name "Tako" is Japanese for "octopus" and has no use to the mollusk. The name "Tako" is just for the toucan. Both species are native to South America.
  • Taco acts like Nigel in "Rio". Those birds are very snooty to Blu and Adam.
  • He, along with Jazz and Tallulah, are the only characters that have Hispanic accents.
  • Out of all the three big animals of South America, Taco is the only antagonist that is not a big animal.
  • Taco is replaced by another Toco toucan named Tallulah in Season 3 and 4. However, this female counterpart is much friendlier than Taco.
  • Taco has a fond of forest nuts. That is the case when a toucan in real life is able to crack a walnut with its beak.
  • Despite seen flying excellently, a toucan in real life can hardly fly.
  • Taco is based on a Toco toucan.
