This large hornbill, over 1 meter in length, can be found in the hill forests of Bhutan and scattered eastward through appropriate habitat in mainland southeast Asia. Males are striking, with a bright rufous head and neck, while females are black all over. They have a distinctive decurved bill with black grooves near the base. Bhutan is a stronghold for the Rufous-necked Hornbill, providing good habitat and has laws in place for its protection. Currently listed as vulnerable, it is threatened with habitat loss and hunting. There are an estimated 10,000 adults remaining in the wild.
