TLDR
The purpose of this study is to characterize the structure of the beak of Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco) and to investigate means for arresting fractures in the rhinotheca using acrylic resin, and to visualization of how theBeak system (sandwich shell and cellular core) sustains high flexural strength.About:
