A Garish Mask
The Chestnut-eared Aracari is a denizen of the wilds of South America. A member of the toucan clan, it presents a most outrageous profile … an appearance that’s actually quite “loud”. At first glance, the creature’s gaudy presentation doesn’t seem real. It’s as if the aracari is wearing a garish mask.
