The red-billed malkoha (Zanclostomus javanicus) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. The genus Zanclostomus was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist William Swainson to accommodate the red-billed malkoha. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek zanklon meaning "sickle" or "reaping hook" with stoma meaning "mouth". Wikipedia →

Restricted to human observations from 2019 onwards — the same kind of record and the same period the probabilities on this page are built from, so collar-tracking studies, camera-trap arrays and museum specimens are excluded. Around Santa Rosa that removes 5,924 GPS fixes from a handful of tagged jaguars.
