The Great Hornbill is one of the largest hornbill species, with males reaching lengths of up to 120 centimeters (47 inches) and weighing around 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds). They are characterized by a striking appearance, featuring a large yellow bill with a prominent casque (horn-like structure) on top. The casque is hollow and serves both structural and visual purposes, enhancing vocalizations and providing protection during head-butting displays. Great Hornbills have black plumage with white markings on the wings, and their tail feathers are white with black tips. They also have distinctive bright yellow and black skin around their eyes and throat.
