The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family,possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. Thisexaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such asbeing a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surfacearea may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (andhence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. Here aredata for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss fromall sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius. [Note: Thenumerical values in this problem have been modified for testingpurposes.]
