Real Black Hornbill Skull
Description
The skull of the Black Hornbill is particularly characterized by its impressive beak, like all hornbills with a conspicuous horn, the casque. This horn gives the bird its characteristic appearance and is probably used to amplify calls and signal mating. The beaks of this bird species are not only large and colorful, but also functional, as they are used for foraging and as tools. In contrast, the Black Hornbill's casque is hollow and light, which allows unrestricted flight despite its size. These anatomical peculiarities underline the importance of the shape of the beak for communication, reproduction and survival in different habitats.
