Sydlig hornkorp
27 2020-01-26 Serengeti NP, Tanzania
This Ground-hornbill foraged in high grass together with four other individuals. It was obviously the most skilled hunter of the flock because it appeared with a number of lizards in its bill... Check out the feathers around the eyes that look like eyelashes. They protect the eye from, for example, sandstorms.
Den här hornkorpen gick i en liten flock om fem individer som jagade i högt gräs. Den var uppenbarligen den skickligaste jägaren eftersom den visade upp flera ödlor i näbben... Kolla fjädrarna runt ögonen som ser ut som ögonfransar. De skyddar ögat från t.ex. sandstormar.
