Lõuna-maasarvik on üks eriti omamoodi lind, teda looduses näha on päris kummastav kogemus. Rohkem kui meetri kõrgune suure nokaga tegelane vantsimas savannis, rohu sees. Just nimelt vantsimas, sest oma toitu - kahepaiksed, teod, putukad ja kuni jänese suurused imetajad - otsib ta maapinnal kõndides. Hoolimata sellest, et Aafrika kohalikes kultuurides on maasarviku tapmine tabu, on täna tegemist ohustatud liigiga. Krugeri rahvuspark, LAV.
Southern Ground-hornbill is one strange bird, it's a pretty unique experience to see it in the wild. Big-billed bird, more than a meter tall, walking aruound in savannah. And by walking I mean walking because the meal - amphibians, snails, insects, and mammals up to the size of hares - is waiting for them on the ground. Despite the fact that in African local cultures the killing of a ground-hornbill is taboo, it is today an endangered species. Kruger National Park, South Africa.
