The great potoo is a nocturnal bird known for its remarkable camouflage, blending seamlessly into tree branches with its mottled plumage. 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
