(Click image to enlarge)
Rhinoceros hornbills are large forest birds that grow to roughly
50 inches (1.27 meters) in length and have a
wingspan of up to 70 inches (1.8 meters). They are found in Borneo, Sumatra,
Java, the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, and southern Thailand. Rhinoceros
hornbills can live up to 35
years. Some native tribes of the region believe the rhinoceros hornbill
to be the chief of all worldly birds. It is easy to see why.
