Ugliest Endangered Species: Helmeted Hornbill
Url : http://environment.change.org/blog/view/ugliest_endangered_species_helmeted_hornbill An expert with the National Wildlife Federation wrote, "I won't say any of these animals are 'ugly' just abit unique. This hornbill's casque, or helmet, is solid keratin which makes up of 10percent of it's body weight. He uses it to fight other males for the authority to mate with females and dig in rotting barks for insects to eat. Now, this speci is almost extinct as he lives in the rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia and people are trying to burn the forest down. His helmet is ivory like and is illegal to trade for it. It is called, " hornbill ivory." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reflection: at first, in my group, no one knows what is hornbills but after the research, we were all surprised. im was very excited about finding out more about this crazy creature . When i was looking out for the photos of the Hornbill, i saw th above picture. The first thing i said was"wow" when the moment i saw this picture. i went find out the information about this unique bird that almost extinct. i was very upset that most of the animals was going at this part of time yet not most of the people had seen the going extinct animal. yet i wish the things to remain as it is and maintain a balance for everything, that's the bet solution and think before anything is done. |
