The black hornbill (Anthracoceros malayanus) is a species of bird of the hornbill family Bucerotidae. It lives in Asia in Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand.
It is the major seed disperser for Durio graveolens, a species of durian.[2] The connection is strong enough to reflect in some of the common names for the fruit: The Kenyah and Dayak peoples call it durian anggang (lit. 'hornbill durian'),[3] and in Malay it is called durian burong/durian burung[4] (lit. 'durian bird'),[3]
