Naturalist Gabriel Willow took a photograph of a large potoo bird, which is now preserved in the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.
The great potato, or Nyctibius grandis, is a South American bird and the largest potato species.
The bird is a nocturnal predator, usually choosing places high above the ground to forage and stalk prey.
It spends most of the day perched on tree stumps, blending into the background.
Unaware of prey like crickets and grasshoppers, the bird is busy figuring out how to catch them.
This large potoo bird is no exception, it has decided to hibernate in the trees for a moment while it figures out its next meal.
It can be easy to lose a creature among all the branches and leaves, but don’t be discouraged.
After all, he has more than three centuries of concealment practice in his bloodline.
For those who need a little help, we’ve included the solution to the puzzle below.
Tips for finding a camouflaged potoo bird include waiting until the sun goes down, at night.
It is easy to locate in the dark thanks to the reflection of light from its eyes as it sits vertically on the trunk.
