Great eyelashes!

Great eyelashes!

Southern Ground Hornbills are the only birds with eyelashes and their beautiful long curly black lashes are to die for! The bare red patches around their eyes and the long lashes protect their eyes from dust as they scrabble around on the ground. Mabula Ground Hornbill Project, South Africa (best largest).

    Interesting information regarding them being the only birds "with eyelashes." Some women would die for "long curly black eyelashes" like that - ROTFL!!
