The great potoo blends in with its surroundings by mimicking a tree stump waiting for its unsuspecting prey. And, it doesn’t even give itself away by opening its eyes. Thanks to tiny openings below their eyelids, this nocturnal bird can see even when its eyes are closed, helping them spot even the most minute amount of movement! #animalplanetindia #animalplanet #potoo | Animal Planet India
