Description
The rhinoceros hornbill is a large arboreal hornbill, 80 to 90 cm (31–35 in) long. The weight varies by sex, with males weighing around 2,465 to 2,960 g (87.0–104.4 oz) and the females 2,040 to 2,330 g (72–82 oz). The plumage is predominately black, with white legs and vent and a white tail with a black band. The huge bill and casque are orange and red, the colour coming from preen oil rubbed on from the preen gland above the tail. The eyes of the male are red with black rims, and white with red rims in the female.

Feeding Habits
Rhinoceros Hornbill primarily consumes fruits, especially figs, and other lipid-rich plant materials. It also preys on small animals, including insects, reptiles, amphibians, and bird eggs. It forages in trees using its large bill to access food, showcasing a versatile diet and specialized feeding adaptations.
Habitat
Rhinoceros Hornbill predominantly resides in expansive areas of primary evergreen rainforests, extending into tall secondary forests that have regenerated after initial clearing. These birds are often found at elevations up to 1400 meters and may traverse more open habitats surrounding their dense forested homes. Broadly, rhinoceros Hornbill can be associated with the tropical and subtropical regions that offer such forested landscapes.

General Info
Species Status
The rhinoceros hornbill faces a number of threats, including loss of its rainforest habitat, as well as hunting for its meat, and its skull and feathers. Habitat destruction has led to the loss of the large trees the species requires for breeding, which in turn makes it easier for poachers to find the rhinoceros hornbill. It is frequently shot at by poachers due to confusion with the highly sought-after helmeted hornbill. Due to this, the species was uplisted to vulnerable from near threatened on the IUCN Red List in 2018.
