Rhinoceros hornbill — size comparison — facts and sources
The rhinoceros hornbill inhabits humid lowland and mountain tropical forests. It eats fruit, insects and small vertebrates and contributes to plant dispersal by transporting seeds.
The female occupies a hollow whose entrance is narrowed to a slit. Remaining inside during incubation, she depends on food brought by the male. Later deliveries also support chick rearing.
