Rats are complex, loving and intelligent creatures that have a case of bad reputation. Without companionship rats tend to become lonely and depressed. They are even known to take care of injured and sick rats in their group. Rats also have an excellent memory and once they learn a navigation route, they won't forget it. Most people we know can ever remember what they had for lunch. As for the myth that rats are filthy, they are actually extremely clean animals, spending several hours every day grooming themselves and their group members. They are less likely than cats or dogs to catch and transmit parasites and viruses (minus that whole black death fiasco but we now know it was the fault of the fleas.

You may have noticed the boney lump on the top of it's beak (it's kinda hard not too). The casque, a hollow structure on top of the beak, serves multiple purposes. It is used as visual signal of sexual maturity, as a resonating chamber for calls, and for aerial jousting during mating season. So, love in the clouds is just another date night for these fascinating birds. The weight of a hornbill's casque and bill are so heavy that their first two neck vertebrae are fused to support the weight. That's a lot of evolution to support their romantic ways. The calls made by the bird range from deep booming sounds as they begin foraging to brays, toots, bellows, and cackles.

They tend to stay away from the coast and prefer the rainforests and forest galleries. In other words, they have no interest in a day at the beach and do not enjoy surf rock. While they may not like The Beach Boys, that doesn't mean they don't like to sing. At dawn, they move in small noisy troops in search of food while serenading the jungles below. Once they have found their hang out spot for the day they tend to stay put. These hornbill hideaways are generally about 150 - 170 feet above the ground!

They can grow to 7 to 11.5 feet and often live in coastal waters, which makes them no small guppy in a big pond.

In tighter areas, they can be more territorial and more likely to see other creatures (including you and me) as intruders. In these environments, the water is usually murky, making it hard for them to see what’s in front of them.

But what's the point of leaving the wide-open ocean for the narrow straits of a river? One: less competition from other predators. Two: it’s a safe place to give birth due to the murky waters of rivers and the lack of other predators. And finally: because they can.
