Yellow-casqued Hornbill (Ceratogymna elata)
About the Yellow-casqued Hornbill
The yellow-casqued hornbill (Ceratogymna elata), also known as the yellow-casqued wattled hornbill, is found in the rainforest of coastal regions of West Africa, for example in Côte d'Ivoire. It is threatened by habitat loss. The yellow-casqued hornbill is one of the largest birds of the West African forest, with adults weighing up to two kilograms (4+1⁄2 pounds). They live mainly in the forest canopy, rarely feeding on the ground. They live in small family groups containing at least one adult male and female, with one or two immature birds, though they sometimes gather in larger flocks to exploit a major food supply such as an ant or termite nest.
