Replica Great Indian Hornbill Skull

The Indian hornbill, standing nearly 4 feet tall, is the largest hornbill species. Native to the Malaysian peninsula and regions of India, this omnivore feeds on fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. This species , like most hornbills, has a unique nesting habit. The female encloses herself within a hallow tree where she will incubate their eggs and care for the hatchlings. She relies entirely on the male to provide food for her and their young.
