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

The Potoo bird, often termed as the "ghost bird," masterfully blends into its surroundings, becoming nearly invisible in plain sight. Its oversized eyes dominate its facial structure, giving it an exceptional night vision. This bird's unique evolutionary trait involves slit-like adaptations in its eyelids, enabling it to remain vigilant to threats even during resting. This avian wonder epitomizes nature's ingenuity in survival strategy. . . #survivalstrategy #adaptation #evolutionarybiology #bir
