Description
The rhinoceros hornbill is a very large, primarily black bird with a white tail and a thick, black band near the center of the tail feathers. They have a large, bony casque and a lightweight but strong bill comprised of a dense covering over a sponge-like cellular tissue. Both the beak and casque are naturally white, but over the course of time they are stained orange and red by rubbing their beak against a gland beneath their tail. The thighs and abdomen are white in color. The circumorbital skin is black, the eyes are red in the male and white in the female. The legs and feet are olive-green. The overall body length including tail is approximately 47 inches with a wingspan measuring approximately 60 inches. The males are slightly heavier, weighing in at 6.4 pounds compared to 4.5 to 5.2 pounds for the female.
