Bird of the family of Bucerotidae, found in
Africa, India, and Malaysia. Omniverous, it
is about 1 m/3 ft long, and has a powerful
bill surmounted by a bony growth or casque.
During the breeding season, the female walls
herself into a hole in a tree, and does not
emerge until the young are hatched.
