The southern rufous hornbill (Buceros mindanensis), is a large species of hornbill endemic to the Philippines.

It inhabits Mindanao, Dinagat, Siargao, Balut, Bucas, Talikud and Basilan islands of the Philippines.

It prefers rainforest habitats and eats fruits, small animals, insects, and seeds.

[2] It is threatened by hunting, illegal pet trade, and use of biological resources in their habitat which all leads to their population declining.
