A very unusual bird named the Potoo, photographed in Venezuela.

At night, its black and yellow eyes allow it to spot prey in the dark.

Great potoos can be found as far north as Mexico and as far south as Brazil.

Do you see what we mean by “strange?”

The great potoo sits very still until an insect gets close enough for it to fly out and eat it.

“No birds here … just a normal tree.”

While the great potoo is considered “uncommon,” it isn’t in any danger of becoming extinct, which means we can look forward to seeing these feathered friends for a long time.
