The West African pied hornbill (Lophoceros semifasciatus) is a bird of the hornbill family, a family of tropical near-passerine birds found in the Old World.[2]
The West African pied hornbill is found in West Africa, from south Nigeria to Senegal and Gambia—primarily in secondary forest areas of the Guinean-Congolese forest,[citation needed] and is threatened by forest fragmentation.[3] It was previously considered conspecific with the Congo pied hornbill, and was split in IOC 13.2.[2]
It is a frugivore.[4]
