North American ground hornbill (SciiFii)

The North American ground hornbill (Neobucorvus psudeocommunis), also known as the American ground hornbill, is a species of hornbill that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity, making it one of the only species of hornbill of the New World. The North American ground hornbill is one of the largest species of hornbill worldwide, at 90 to 129 cm (2 feet 11 in to 4 ft 3 inches) long. Females weigh 2.2 to 4.6 kilograms (4.9 to 10.1 lb), while the larger males weigh 3.5 to 6.2 kilograms (7.7 to 13.7 lb). The North American ground hornbills are carnivorous and mostly hunt on the ground, where they find the majority of their food. This food ranges from insects to small animals. Their nests are often found in high in tree cavities or other shallow cavities, such as rock holes in cliff faces. These birds are a long lived species of wild birds, having lifespans in the range of 50–60 years, and up to 70 in captivity. In relation to their long lives, they do not reach sexual maturity until 4–6 years old, and begin breeding around 10 years old. Their sex can be identified by the color of their throats, where the male's is pure violet and the female's is a deep blue. The conservation status of the North American ground hornbill is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American ground hornbill's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
