Seeing Southern ground-hornbills an evening in Tarangire NP, against the light, is beyond comparison. And when one discovers that one of them just caught a frog, you are immediately in the mood for a photograph of this. This species is relatively easy to recognize because of its gray-black plumage, with a red neck and red areas around the eyes. It can be almost 130 cm long and may weigh up to 4 kg. It occurs in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa. One peculiarity is that it sometimes hunts in groups and can take relatively large prey. The diet includes e.g. spiders, snakes, lizards and insects, but also small mammals.
