Knobbed Hornbill

This hornbill's towering casque makes it one of the most recognizable birds in Sulawesi.

The Knobbed Hornbill is found only in the forests of Sulawesi and nearby Indonesian islands. Feeding mainly on figs and other fruits, it also eats insects and small animals while playing a vital role in dispersing seeds across the rainforest.

A magnificent guardian of the treetops, carrying the future of the forest with every flight.

Bukharan Markhor,

Another day, another doggy you can’t pet. Meet the dhole (Cuon alpinus). Found widely across parts of Asia from India to China to Indonesia, this social canid typically lives in groups of up to 12 individuals. Sometimes it even socializes with other groups of dholes to form “super packs” of more than 30 members! Teamwork enables these hunters to take down prey ten times their size. And unlike many other species of canid, dholes allow their pups to feed first on kills. Their diet includes pigs, deer, and buffalo.
