The Potoo Bird

This cute and funny fellow is the potoo bird. Potoos are native to Central and South America. During the day, they sit perched upright on a tree stump which acts as the perfect camouflage. When hunting, they will sit and wait for their insect prey to fly by. After catching it, potoos will return to the same perch. Being nocturnal, they display the same behavior at night.

With their large sloping beaks and enormous eyes, potoo birds look like adorable cartoon characters. Their expressions are priceless and they seem to have quite a few of them — comical, sad, pouting, and frightened. Potoos are most definitely cool creatures.
