Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, and parts of Thailand. Inhabits primary lowland and montane evergreen forests.
How to spot
Look for its immense size, black and white plumage, and the unmistakable, large, upward-curving red and yellow casque. Listen for its loud, deep roars and cackles, often given in duets.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitat. Active during daylight hours, often seen flying high over the canopy or foraging in large fruit trees.
