The Black Dwarf Hornbill (Grant's subspecies/variant) is a small, entirely black hornbill found in specific parts of West and Central African rainforests. It is similar to the nominate Black Dwarf Hornbill but may exhibit subtle regional differences in size or casque shape.
Where to spot
Specifically found in parts of West and Central Africa, typically in lowland rainforests, often where there is dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Look for its small size and entirely black plumage. It is generally quiet and elusive, so patience is key. Listen for soft, low-pitched calls as it moves through the dense foliage.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitat. Active during daylight hours, often observed foraging in the mid-story or understory.

Despite their compact size, Black Dwarf Hornbills are adept at consuming both fruits and insects, playing a minor role in seed dispersal and insect control within their forest environment.
