| Hornbills are named because of
their very large bills with a casque on top. To support their
large bill, the first two neck vertebrae are fused together.
Hornbills bear a resemblance to toucans, but the two are very
unrelated, since hornbills are Old World birds of Africa, tropical
areas of Asia and Australia, whereas Toucans are New World birds
of South America. |
