Great hornbills are found in the forests of [[Nepal]], [[India]], the [[Malay Peninsula]] and [[Sumatra]], [[Indonesia]]. Their impressive size and colour have made them important in many tribal cultures and rituals. The great hornbill is long-lived, living for nearly 50 years in captivity. They are predominantly frugivorous although they are opportunists and will prey on small [[mammal]]s, [[reptile]]s and [[bird]]s. == References == {{reflist}} [[category:Birds of Asia]] [[Category:Bucerotiformes]] {{biology-stub}}
