TAMPA - Busch Gardens has welcomed two newborn creatures to their clan: Southern Ground Hornbills.
The Southern Ground Hornbills, both male, hatched on Feb. 15 and Feb. 19.
Southern Ground Hornbills are the largest kind of hornbill.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the species as vulnerable because the entire population is mainly confined to national parks and reserves.
Guests can visit the baby ground bills at Jambo Junction, located in the Nairobi area of the park.
Their older brother Tufts and Uncle Baraka can also be seen at the Jambo Junction at Busch Gardens.
