13 <para>The animal on the cover of <citetitle>Using Samba</citetitle> is
14 a African ground hornbill (<foreignphrase>Bucorvus
15 cafer</foreignphrase>). This type of bird is one of fifty hornbill
16 species. The African ground hornbill is a medium to large sized bird
17 characterized by a bright red waddle under a very long beak,
18 dark-colored body and wings, long eyelashes, and short legs. Like all
19 hornbills, it has a casque, a large but lightweight growth on the top
20 of its beak, which grows more folds as the bird ages. It is the only
21 ground-dwelling species of hornbill, though it is able to fly when
22 necessary. It lives in the grasslands of southern and eastern Africa,
23 and nests in the foliage of dense trees, not in nest holes in the
24 ground as other hornbills do. Its diet includes mostly fruit, as well
25 as large insects and small mammals. The African ground hornbill is
26 considered to be sacred by many Africans, and as such this bird is
27 part of many legends and superstitions.</para>
