Hornbills are birds in the families Bucerotidae and Bucorvidae. There are currently 62 extant species of hornbills recognised by the International Ornithologists' Union, two in Bucorvidae and 60 in Bucerotidae.[1] Many species of fossil hornbills are known from the Miocene onwards; however, their exact number and taxonomy are unsettled due to ongoing discoveries.
