(Sandra speaking)
We were out in the wilds, mountains, wooded. Someone spotted this Rufous-necked Hornbill – – quite rare/endangered. The bus stopped right away. There was a flying squirrel going between trees which the Hornbill proceeded to catch, beat to death, crush the bones and then eat. The video stops before getting to the eating part.
