Ten Hornbill Species of Malaysia

The latest issue (September 2013) of the magazine Malaysian Naturalist has beautiful illustrations of all the ten hornbill species occurring in Malaysia (see below images). It is really a pleasure to look at those beautiful hornbill illustrations. How I wish Pos Malaysia comes out with a stamp issue with ten stamps depicting the ten hornbill species in Malaysia, using illustration approach similar to that of Malaysian Naturalist (with plain background). I hope Pos Malaysia would not keep me dreaming...

The ten hornbill species occurring in Malaysia are rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros), helmeted hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil), great hornbill (Buceros bicornis), white-crowned hornbill (Aceros comatus), wrinkled hornbill (Aceros corrugatus), black hornbill (Anthracoceros malayanus), plain-pouched hornbill (Aceros subruficollis), oriental pied hornbill (Anthracoceros albirostris), bushy-crested hornbill (Anorrhinus galeritis) and wreathed hornbill (Aceros undulates).
