Southern Ground-Hornbill

Wild South Africa

Kruger National Park

 

The Masai believe that the African ground hornbill should never be killed because it will bring bad luck. If one lands on the roof of a house, the occupants must move at once or they believe death will ensue. Many tribes in Africa believe that the African ground hornbill is a rain prophet.
