Recent film of Nxai Pan with Oren. You’ll notice that YBHB’s are not the brightest birds. This particular fellow was pecking at himself in the mirror. When the jackal walks past near the car, in the background are 2 cheetah at a zebra kill (jackals don’t go near cheetah kills because the former are quick enough to catch them). Later in the film the lion have chased off the cheetah, and mister jackal is coming closer…
My mom, (asking earnestly): “What’s the difference between a yellow billed hornbill and a red billed hornbill?”
The game ranger: (responding earnestly): “The one has a yellow bill, and the other has a red bill.” 😉
