Hornbill

Hornbills are a rich family that occur in Africa and South Asia, and with a dozen species only in Malaysia.

Description
The Rhinoceros Hornbill is an exceptionally large member of the Bucerotidae family, and is charactised by a long, yellow bill and an ornate orangey-red crest (a keratin-based structure known as a casque), which is used mainly to display to other members of the same species, particularly in mating rituals. After mating, the male hornbill seals the female in the hollow of a tree using mud and saliva, where she is left to raise the young in safety. The Hornbill possesses the horns ability, by virtue of its hard beak and crest, making it the only flying creature able to effectively counter high defense.
