Description

Beautiful, black casqued hornbill skull.  This particular specimen is approximately 7 5/8 inches long, 2 1/4 inches at its widest point, and 4 1/4 inches tall.

A black casqued male horn bill is a very large bird that can be found in African rain forests.  It is often found in the canopy feeding on the fruits found in the trees. The male is larger than the female, with black feathers and a large black bill. Females have much smaller, paler bills with a brownish hood over their head and neck. The tail is long and black with a white tip, which is a feature that separates this species from other large horn bills.  These birds make a loud braying sound that can be heard from several miles away.
