Zambia represents a core part of the Southern Ground-Hornbill’s Bucorvus leadbeateri distribution, yet empirical information on the country’s population is scant. From February to September 2017, ground-hornbill sightings were recorded in Kafue National Park in western Zambia to describe population demography. From 49 uniquely identified groups, the mean group size was 3.8 (SE: 0.19, range 1–7), of which 41% included birds less than four years old. Although these observations are quantitatively limited, they provide the first information on group size and composition in the country, as well as an indication of high densities and reproductive output relative to the well-studied peripheral population in South Africa.

赞比亚是南部地面犀鸟的Bucorvus Leadbeateri分布的核心部分，但有关该国人口的经验信息很少。2017年2月至2017年9月，在赞比亚西部的卡富埃国家公园记录了犀鸟的踪迹，以描述人口统计数据。在49个独特识别的组中，平均组大小为3.8（SE：0.19，范围1–7），其中41％包括四岁以下的鸟。尽管这些观察结果在数量上是有限的，但它们提供了该国群体规模和组成的第一个信息，并且表明了相对于南非经过精心研究的外围人口而言，其高密度和生殖产量。
