Sulawesi Hornbill

The Sulawesi hornbill (Rhabdotorrhinus exarhatus), also known as the Sulawesi tarictic hornbill, Temminck's hornbill or Sulawesi dwarf hornbill, is a relatively small, approximately 45 cm (18 in) long, black hornbill. The male has a yellow face and throat, and yellowish horn bill with black markings. The female has all-black plumage and a darker bill. == Taxonomy == An Indonesian endemic, the Sulawesi hornbill is distributed in the tropical lowland, swamps and primary forests of Sulawesi and nearby islands, from sea level to altitude up to 1,100 metres. There are two subspecies of the Sulawesi hornbill. The nominate subspecies, P. e. exarhatus, occurs in north Sulawesi, and P. e. sanfordi is found in central, east and south Sulawesi, Buton and Muna Island. == Status and conservation == Uncommon throughout its native range, the Sulawesi hornbill is evaluated as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The species usually performs better in captivity than other species of hornbill. It is kept in multiple facilities across Europe, North America & Asia, including but not limited to Weltvogelpark Walsrode in Germany, Plzeň Zoo in the Czech Republic as well as San Diego Zoo, Bronx Zoo, ZooTampa at Lowry Park and Turtle Back…
