WATCH!: The amount of care that goes into ensuring every animal at the Dallas Zoo has the best shot of thriving is truly commendable and awe-inspiring.

See the efforts being made in our bird department to hand-rear our first-ever Southern ground hornbill chicks since mom couldn't do it. (These feedings were not an easy feat for our keepers -- they've been feeding them around-the-clock for weeks!)
Update: The fourth chick hatched and is perfect.

Hi. I’m Suzanne. I am a wildlife artist and as a matter of fact, your zoo has the posthumous painting I did of your Johari the lioness. I am interested in doing a painting of a Southern Ground Hornbill. Any photo references you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance .
