Sulu Hornbill
Anthracoceros montani (Oustalet, 1880)
Bucerotidae — Hornbills
Sulu Hornbill, Anthracoceros montani, is a hornbill of the Sulu Archipelago in the southern Philippines, where it survives in tropical moist forest. It is the only hornbill species in its range and is known from Tawi-Tawi, with the population on Jolo believed to have been hunted out. The bird faces pressure from loss of forest and from possible taking for food. It feeds on fruit, insects and small lizards. In 2019, the wild population was thought to number only 27 mature birds.
