Learn more about Hornbill

 

• Found in Africa and Southeast Asia, hornbills live in forests, rainforests, or savannas, depending on species.

• You can easily pick out a hornbill from other birds by a special body part atop their bill called a casque.

• In most hornbill species, the casque is a hollow or spongy structure made out of keratin. It is believed that this structure acts as a vibrating chamber to make the hornbill's voice louder.
