DID YOU KNOW? The Sulawesi Knobbed Hornbill is endemic to Indonesia.
Their diet consists mainly of fruits and figs, as well as insects, frogs, lizards, rodents, small birds, carrion, and eggs.
The Knobbed Hornbill is believed to be a monogamous species.
The female seals herself inside a tree hole for egg-laying to keep out predators.
The Knobbed Hornbill is about three feet tall and long; although with its tail, it is four to five feet long.
