Great hornbill (Buceros bicornis) (female), family Bucerotidae (hornbills)

A species with mild sexual dimorphism, males and females can be told apart by their eyes, the skin around their eyes, and the underside of the casque on their head. Females have pale blueish eyes with pink skin around them, while males have red eyes with black skin. Females also have red on the back of the casque, while males have black on the underside of the casque, both front and back.

Red-billed Hornbill - Memphis Zoo, Prentiss Place, Memphis, Tennessee, USA

Joshua J. Cotten

Common Name: Red-billed hornbill

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Aves

Order: Bucerotiformes

Family: Bucerotidae

Genus Species: Tockus erythrorhynchus

These birds can be found in Angola, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabw

The red-bill lives in open savanna, woodland and thorn scrub in sub-Saharan Africa. It is an omnivore, eating fruit, insects and small animals. Hornbills are named because the shape of their bill reminded early people of cattle horns.
