Wrinkled Hornbill

Rhabdotorrhinus corrugatus

The Wrinkled Hornbill is a large bird native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia. It is known for its striking appearance, with a black body, white tail, and a wrinkled, brightly colored casque on top of its bill. These birds are primarily frugivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits and occasionally small animals. They are also important seed dispersers in their habitat. Wrinkled Hornbills are typically found in lowland and montane forests, where they inhabit the canopy and emergent layers. They are known for their distinctive calls and are often seen in pairs or small groups. Like many species in the region, the Wrinkled Hornbill faces threats from habitat loss and hunting.
