I think it is known as Toucan.

The scene is too dark and saturated to look natural IMO.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Toucan (two can) multiplied by 2 equals Fourcan.
2 x 2 = 4
The problem for you is your native word for two isn't two and four isn't four.

The joke, such as it is, rests on the fact that many differently spelled combinations of letters and vowels are pronounced thew same way in English. So " to", "too" "two", and "tou(can)" all sound the same. Thus: two (two)cans= a fourcan. Just a chuckle...
G.B. Shaw famously put a nail in this idea when he provided this spelling howler: GHOTI=FISH

I just learned a joke about toucans.

A guy goes to a gun shop.
— I'd like to buy a gun!
# What kinda gun?
— Donno!
# What do you wanna shoot?
— Cans.
# Big cans, small cans… what kinda cans?
— mexicans, dominicans, americans…
