Are toucans extinct?

Question

My cousin told me that toucans were extinct and I don't know if it's true or not.

Answer 1

No, but some species are threatened or endangered.

Answer 2

Toucans are common in the wild.  The IUCN Red List of Threatened and Endangered Species (iucnredlist.org) lists the status of 29 species of toucan, toucanette, or aracari (all close relatives). Twenty-six of them are listed as "least concern," i.e., they have large, stable populations, and are in no danger of extinction. Three species (Saffron toucanette, plate-billed mountain toucan, and grey-breasted mountain toucan) are "near threatened," meaning that their populations are shrinking a little bit, and these species may be threatened with becoming endangered if the trend continues.

Answer 3

No. Tucans are not extinct. I have seen them wild in South America, and I have seen them in captivaty here in Florida. Dodos are extinct.

Answer 7
