It remains almost completely still during the day to avoid detection. Fun fact: when threatened, the great potoo opens its mouth wide and makes eerie, guttural calls, adding to its ghostly appearance and deterring potential predators. #birdlife #potoobird #thegreatpotoo | Wildlife Rescuers | Facebook

Thanks to tiny openings below their eyelids, this nocturnal bird can see even when its eyes are closed, helping them spot even the most minute amount of movement! #animalplanetindia #animalplanet #potoo | Animal Planet India | Facebook
