Potoos are some of the most fascinating birds on the planet. You might think that’s an exaggeration, but it’s true. They’ve mystified ornithologists for years because of their elusive, secretive habits, and they’ve captured the imagination of everyday people who use them for memes and viral videos.

I love animals; always have. I had never heard of this little guy until I saw this post. I googled "Potoo Bird" and it led me to a youtube video about these birds. They have a very interesting behavior in which they perch on the very top of trees appearing to be a dead tree limb. They stay very still and sleep like this to avoid predators. They are very interesting birds! Thank you for the post!
