In a small opening in the foliage we could see this male Great hornbill, high up in a tree. (The male has red eyes, the female has white). The bird lives up to its name - it can grow to be over a meter long and weigh over 4 kilograms (8.8 lb). The casque in this species becomes a massive, flat and yellow-black helmet. Because the bird is so heavy, the wingbeats are very powerful and noisy. When a bird takes off, the sound is usually likened to a steam locomotive starting up... The bird lives mainly on fruit but supplements this with insects, reptiles, fledglings and even small mammals. Unfortunately, as of 2018, it is listed as "vulnerable" due to hunting and habitat loss.
