Oddball hornbill

If this bird looks familiar, you likely remember Zuzu from The Lion King. If you didn't know, Zuzu was a yellow-billed hornbill. Hornbills are common in Kruger National Park and elsewhere in South Africa. They are omnivores that eat insects, bird chicks, frogs, chameleons, ants, termites and occasionally fruit. Seeing them is a thrill because they are so unique, and they have interesting habits worth mentioning.
