This turkey-sized bird, called a Ground Hornbill,
ranks as a powerful predator. Using it's bill as a shovel or weapon, it can dig
up or dispatch various prey. It eats insects, reptiles, frogs, and it will also
kill game birds, snakes, and tortoises. The large red neck pouch inflates to provide
a surface area for losing excess heat. Ground Hornbills spend most of their time
waddling along the ground looking for their next meal. | |||
