Have you ever seen the potoo birds? Their appearance makes people a little bit confused: they seem creepy, but you can't deny that they make faces.

These potoo birds usually feed on insects, but they can also eat small animals. They can see you move even with their eyes closed, due to a narrow opening at the bottom of their eyelids. Their squawk is totally terrifying. The common potoo is the loudest at night. Potoos are quite lazy birds. Besides, they do not mate as other birds normally do. Typically, potoos are totally monogamous: once they find their love, it's forever. They are good parents. Their most recognizable feature is their shape of mouths.

Potoos are not one species of birds, they are a group of related species in the family of 'Nyctibiidae'. They branch out into one of seven species, thus, on photos the may look vastly different depending upon the species.
