My mom is from El Salvador, Central America, and told me that she saw one of these birds when she was a kid. I never expected to find a video that would allow me to see what she saw. Thanks for sharing this :)
I don't think it's an ugly bird at all. In Brazil, it's called "urutau" and "mãe--da-lua" (mother of moon), among other names. Their appearance, nocturnal habits and singing made them a source of many legends and even superstitions.
Edwin Arellano Foxes have an impressive range of various vocalizations. Just watch a few RUclips videos of pet foxes “talking” to their human parents, and you’ll hear how many different ways they can sound. 😊
In the jungle of Perú, it's called "Ayaymama". Natives have a legend about it. They say that is the voice of a child who got lost in the jungle and is calling his mother
Es un Kakuy, hermoso video, un animalito inocente, que no molesta a nadie. Quiere pasar desapercibido y no lo dejan. Me parece hermoso es diferente a otros pájaros. Algunas personan los lastiman, le tiran piedras , les pegan, dicen que son brujas. No no se equivoquen es sólo un ave diferente a otras de Sudamérica.
Oh hey, is an owl looking thing that has a giant mouth beak and screams like murder with freakishly huge eyes that will stare into your soul and it also looks like a pokemon. Neat.
I worry that Potoos, like other Internet-famous animals (owls, sloths, slow loris, etc) will become targets for poachers, as people begin to demand these animals as pets. Why? Because we humans seem to care only about status and material wealth.
Yo vi un documental hace unos veinte años. No sabía que esta ave también fue parte de nuestra fauna. Es una lástima que no la hayamos apreciado. Saludos!

The majestic Derp Owl.
Weirdly adorable, I have no idea why I find such a peculiar creature to be my favorite bird species, but they are so cute and funny.
just found out about this thing's existence about 2 minutes ago.
lol...me too. Check out: Wikipedia: 'Potoos (family Nyctibiidae)'. Cheers.

They look like something you would see in the Muppets.

Or when a 9-year old plays Call of Duty...
WHAAAAAAAAHOGOGOOGOGOGISVSHVSHSGSHSFEHSGSGWFSHSFGE *TRIGGERED*

😂
Lmao
i love Great Potoos because they just look so derpy!
Wow,this bird is so awesome! Love how it blends into the trees.
It's a shame that you removed the sound while applying the music on top. I wanted to hear how it sounded.
just like fox sound
Imagine a 18 year old boy who is a brat and his mother just turned off the wifi.
"MOOOOOOMM"
Jazmyn Dyck More like some kid recently possessed by a demon, looking at you with it's cold, black eyes utters a gravelly, half-choked "mooooooooommm"
AshLee Soronio and how does a fox sound

The majestic Potoo bird is the ultimate kind and will take over the world!

Most beautiful
In the jungle of Perú, it's called "Ayaymama". Natives have a legend about it. They say that is the voice of a child who got lost in the jungle and is calling his mother
Oh boy...with that beak, they must have very big insects in Costa Rica.
potoo, the derp bird
Really well-crafted video. Enjoyed the insight into these strange and interesting birds!
Gorgeous looks like something out of Harry Potter 😍
The European Nightjar or Frogmouth would be a close example or relative species. Feeding on night-flying insects, mainly Moths.
This is my spirit animal I love it so damn goofy looking. XD
Strange eyes at 2:30 and what strange noises it makes. Unique bird : )
I am totally obsessed with this bird.... it reminds me of a flying ostrich part owl.... so cool....
They are adorable birbs
These birds are amazing
I appreciate how the music tries to make it sound graceful and fierce, when it looks and sounds more like some kinda Muppet Pokemon.
It’s like a cross between an owl and a frog, their mouth when they open it looks like a frog
I want one,I'll call him Coco😁
their eyes are so cool !
Best Potoo video I've seen. (I never thought I'd say that.)
Such an incredibly cool bird
Es un Kakuy, hermoso video, un animalito inocente, que no molesta a nadie. Quiere pasar desapercibido y no lo dejan. Me parece hermoso es diferente a otros pájaros.

Very rare bird...thanks for sharing
Good weed in the day, bad crack in the night. This the diet of the Common Potoo.
Honestly, the strangest bread of birds, in my opinion.
These are more closely related to hummingbirds than owls :)
Stunning bird xx
I think its kinda cute tbh
Oh hey, is an owl looking thing that has a giant mouth beak and screams like murder with freakishly huge eyes that will stare into your soul and it also looks like a pokemon. Neat.
CoGamingInc wow

absolutely incredible
Gracias
.... cuídalos!!!
Wonderful video
Ce Piaf...est un monstre !!!

omg its so cute *.*
I love this birds!
They need to make a horror movie called "Potoo".Like a Potoo bird-human hybrid.or it sounds rediculous?
Yo vi un documental hace unos veinte años. No sabía que esta ave también fue parte de nuestra fauna. Es una lástima que no la hayamos apreciado. Saludos!
In South East Asia the birds have more pleasant calls in the middle of the night. Each part of the countries has different names for the same bird...
Jeepers creepers where did you get those massive peepers!
Nice camo, looks as if it has whiskers...
0:47 when you wake up to see that your phone didn’t even charge
They are very cute 😍
3:41 Me in the morning.
Says in the description, feeds on large insects like us on Facebook, c; wanted to hear Potoo 👂 not percussion and flute, great vid.
So ugly, it's cute. I want one, and one of those shapeshifting owls (Northern White-face Owl)
I kind of want to just put one of these birds next to someones bed.. and they'd just wake up to that beautiful face.
looks like a hybrid between an Owl and a Hawk.
Nature is so creative
The perfect creature
AEE THEY LOOK SO CUTE!!!
I cant explain why but this is the weirdest bird I've ever seen.
dafuq??

It's actually really cute
Looks cute, sounds like a freaking nightmare

Now we know what Gonzo is.
A sloth and an owl had a baby and named it Potoo.
Link to the Dinosaurs...
Looks like it has a lizards mouth with a tiny beak on the tip.

Wow he's so cute! :3
The poopoo bird has been known to swallow potatoes
Would love to see a "True Facts About The Potoo" video.
Parece una polilla gigante clonada con un buó! Impresionante!
Es una verdadera belleza esta ave.

Looks like someone crossed a bird with a frog and cat. Definitely weird looking bird.
It must be fun to be a Potoo...
Indeed, good sir.
Khe wapa la ave. Se parece a la minoo rabhar. En el minuto 1:09 se pone a soñar que quiere wackarear :D
