The rhinoceros hornbill is a large and distinctive bird native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia. Known for its striking appearance, it has a black plumage, white belly, and a unique casque on top of its bill, resembling the horn of a rhinoceros. These hornbills are primarily frugivores, feeding on a variety of fruits, but they also consume insects and small animals. Rhinoceros hornbills are notable for their monogamous breeding pairs and their role in seed dispersal, helping maintain the diversity of plant species in their tropical habitats.
