Known for its remarkable camouflage, the potoo has a striking appearance with mottled feathers that help it blend into tree bark. They are most active at night, using their wide mouths to catch insects in flight. Potoos are also famous for their eerie calls, which can often be heard in their natural habitats, adding an intriguing element to the soundscape of the rainforest.Their eyes have unusual slits in the lids which allow potoos to sense movement even when their eyes are closed.
