The type species is the laughing kookaburra. The name "Dacelo" is an anagram of "Alcedo", the Latin word for a kingfisher. A molecular study published in 2017 found that the genus "Dacelo", as currently defined, is paraphyletic. The shovel-billed kookaburra in the monotypic genus "Clytoceyx" sits within "Dacelo". Four species of kookaburra can be found in Australia, New Guinea, and the Aru Islands. Kookaburras are sexually dimorphic. This is noticeable in the blue-winged and
Kookaburra Kahuna forms of cricket, making it a bat which dominates the vast majority of others. The Kahuna is similar in its characteristics to the Kookaburra Beast. However, the Kahuna still features being made of the highest grade of English willow, has a twelve-piece Sarawak cane handle, an octopus grip and weighs between 2 lb 7oz and 3 lb 4oz. Its pick-up is relatively superior to other Kookaburra range bats, and provides the force required to dwarf even the largest boundaries, a characteristic which is distinctive to the Kahuna. In late 2005, the MCC scrutinized Ricky Ponting's use of the Kahuna, after
