英文注释：

A rhinoceros hornbill—one of 54 species of hornbills—perches on a fig tree in Gunung Palung National Park.

The casque, a protrusion on the upper bill that gives hornbills their name, may play a role in sexual selection or amplify the birds' calls. From loud barks to thunderous booms, hornbill cries resound across a range that extends from the dry savannas of sub-Saharan Africa to the lush forests of Melanesia.
