The Wrinkled Hornbill is a large and striking hornbill of Southeast Asian rainforests, named for the deep wrinkles or folds on its large, bright orange-red bill and casque. Males have a yellow throat patch, while females are all black.
Where to spot
Found in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and parts of Thailand. Inhabits lowland evergreen rainforests.
How to spot
Look for its large size, black body, and the unmistakable large, orange-red bill and casque with deep wrinkles. The male's yellow throat patch is a key identifier. Listen for its loud, deep grunting or cackling calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitat. Active during daylight hours, often seen flying over the canopy or foraging in large fruit trees.

Wrinkled Hornbills are highly arboreal and primarily feed on fruits, especially figs, which they pluck with their specialized bills. They are crucial seed dispersers in their forest habitats.
