9. Patient Potoo
Concealed within the trees of South and Central America, the great potoo remains hidden during daylight hours, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. With bulging yellow eyes and a massive mouth, this bird may appear peculiar, but its camouflage and unique hunting techniques are nothing short of remarkable. While it rests motionless throughout the day, it comes to life at night, plucking insects from the air and emitting an eerie cry that echoes through the woods.
