Thats a frog with feathers
Eman Yerr THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING! omg...
Potoo-like relative species in Asia are actually called "Frogmouths."
oh they kinda do look like frogs actually

@@spindalis79 Thanks for that info, I was wondering the same.
Common potoo: Flute whistle
Norther potoo: D E M O N
Great potoo: MOOOOM
Potoos: methbird

I can’t understand why I’ve only heard about this .."fascinating….bird today!
It’s remarkable!
@@patty7791 same
@@patty7791 because the alternative universes are converging on eachother. This bird never was spoken about until recently.... along with that damn shoebill stork.
Other birds: have beaks that can be long and pointy
Potoo: swings open the top and bottom half of their face like a muppet
😭😭😂😂😭
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes! I saw a Facebook post, and I said that it looks like something Jim Henson designed! 🤣 Amazing creatures!
When a owl and a frog had baby.
When an owl, a frog, and a Sesame Street character have a baby! Lol
Me: You look like a dead stick.
Potoo: Thanks. You're so kind.
Yeah, and "Your baby looks like a bundle of slime" too bro 😅🤣
Don't have those here but I think they are cool.
common potoo call: mysterious, haunting, spooky
northern potoo call: *murderous intent*
Northern potoo: satanic screams
I love how everything about this bird looks wrong and slightly disturbing
He’s like a frog i love it
very strange looking
@nothing2compare freak younglings
I want one
I think it looks kinda cute.
What about the bird looks wrong ? Or even disturbing ?
I was half asleep when this video started playing but I was wide awake when 00:46 played!! That call is terrifying! Imagine hearing that and not knowing what it was in the middle of the night in the jungle?? My goodness
Yes, actually it just happened to me and i had NO idea what it was. Scared the crap out of me.
I had my ear piece on more than half volume.. It scared me 😂
Was watching this vid to relax but after the sound of hell itself opening up, every muscle in my body is now tense 😳🤣
I for one would not be in the middle of the jungle in the middle of the night, no way, no how.
Even worse,if you hear the call,turn round and these massive great eyes are just staring at you back,think my heart would give out there and then 😱😱
Bro, if I hear something like 0:46 when im walking alone in the woods, im leaving a trail of felled trees right into civilization. 💥🏃♂️
🤣🤣
Bigfoot!!!!
.....no, actually. A little muppet bird with ping pong ball eyeballs, who's minding his ball of fungas
@@Mortthemoose the sound is literally me when I don’t get a credit card every month
@@yukiomarco5288 lol
@@Mortthemoose it’s just true literally
Oh come on he's cute. Every bird has their own song.
If I hear that call in the night... I'm calling Homeland security, the Vatican, police, fbi CIA, and my mother
Funny , Love it ....This bird is really cool ...like no other !
@Eleni 1979 yeah I'm calling my mom first
Lol! It sounds like the potoo called its mom too. MOOOOOOOM!!!
Hilarious comment, you had me guffawing in the doctors’ lounge this evening in the midst of my colleagues’ other conversations, and they simply shook their heads at me incredulously!
Lmao the vatican
Something about that mouth/beak freaks me out.
That mouth could swallow our sanity
frogmouths are great
it's big
It's like a muppet
its super cute
In Peru, people believe potoos were kids who lost their mother and cry at night, like if they were heartbroken
I love that idea
In Brazil they are calles Ave Fantasma, the ghost who died early.
Real life pokemon😯
Stories like this makes life interesting...
That’s the scariest shot I read all day
0:41 - That's a beautiful whistle! *_literally A second after_* *TF WAS THAT*
My exact thoughts
The whistling is scarier tho
They scream like demons and see through their eyelids.

Kill it
It's to dangerous to be left alive
Nuff said. Kill it with 🔥
They see like demons and scream through their eyelids.
Eyes closed: wise old sage
Eyes open: village idiot
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂
Yow this made me laugh
Lmfao facts
LOL
Just when I thought the shoebill was the strangest bird, I find these one…Fantastic!
Lyrebird
😂😂😂
Holy crap i literally just watched a shoebill video before this 🤣
The second call would be a cause for concern
It looks like a studio ghibli bird
Yo, this comment is underrated! I love all their movies.
It does!! 😱
One laughs at you, one screams a death cry and the other has just had enough of it all.
" The baby just looks like a *fungus ball* "
2:49
Fungus amongus
Let’s Go
Still prettier than human bebes
@@Oyo__ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That bird when it yawned is just fucking hollow dude like wtf
mOOOOOooooOooMmMMM WHYD YOU TURN OFF THE WIFI
Omg that Tumblr post
03:41
background bird: num num num num
the bird on screen: moooowwwm
your name..? is that even possible!?
Pretty sure that background sound comes from a frog
"…smashing its prey to death."
Do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.
While we ARE X-Files.
calm down child
idk why i died laughing when he called the baby a fungus ball
The way he said it: "the baby just looks like a fungus ball" aww haha
I laughed at "beetle and moth smoothies"!
It looks like an unfinished muppet
Best comment ever im dead
😂😂😂
They almost look like a hand puppet lol
Owls: Who!Who!
Potoo: *summoning a demon
THIS IS NOW MY FAVORITE ANIMAL ITS SO DERPY OML THEY LITERALLY YELL MOOOOOM
They don’t literally yell mooom, you’re abusing the word literally
I'm so intrigued by this creature!
They look like some bootleg bird toys with bulgy glass eyes and a gigantic friggin mouth.
@@48956l bruh
@@assassin2673 LMAO NO
So weird that the Northern Potoo's demon wail sounds exactly like me when I step on a Lego
Hadn't seen pootoos before, but oddly enough, we have a very similar bird in Australia called the Tawny Frogmouth. Has a nicer call, though. Nature is so amazing that it can produce two unrelated species on opposite sides of the planet that are so similar in appearance and habits.
I know about Frogmouth fish, so I can only guess!! Lol
.........Off to research Tawny Frogmouth
Thanks 😊
@@Mortthemoose Enjoy. They are lovely birds. My friends had a young one they found on the road, didn't appear injured. Kept it for a few weeks till it recovered, fed it on tinned cat food. It would open its beak to have the food spooned in,and wasnt afraid of its carers. Eventually, it returned to the bush.
Nature making itself is pantheism. Not science.
@@TazHall "Science"is just a man made philosophy. There's way more to life than what man can measure. What we call advanced knowledge will be seen as very limited in a few hundred years, if civilisation continues.
@@elowishusmirkatroid4898 Wow! What an amazing experience that would have been. Glad he made a recovery.
Well this explains the "La Llorona" Myth. Now, we need to figure out the "El chupacabras".
I love the sounds they make, they're so funny. Goes well with how quirky they look.
THAT BIRD LOOKS LIKE A DAMN NIGHTMARE
Why?
Oh god why o.o
0:44
It’s the eyes when they are wide open! Prehistoric retile/dinosaurs
I think it’s beautiful
Here in Brazil they are know as "Urutau" or "Mãe-da-lua" (Mother of the moon). There is this old legend that says if one of these sings while flying above your house, it means that you're going to die soon. In the northeast their sing is also known as "foi, foi, e não voltou", which means "went, went, and never came back".
On my country indonesia the urban legend said the crow
“Birds of ill omen” are present in many cultures. If there’s a reason why, I don’t know it.
In the West Indies it's the owl. If they fly over your house at night screaming someone is going to die they say.
🤣😂The comments have me in hysterics. Some were EXACTLY my thoughts in words.
I had to show my mom four UA-cam videos, a few Google images and a couple of Wikipedia pages to prove to her that the Potoo is, in fact, a real bird, and not an animatronic, puppet or CGI creature.
I think they're adorable, by the way!❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe I'm the only one who thinks these birds are oddly beautiful. They are a real life fantasy creature. I think their eyes look incredible when the pupils are fully dilated.
No I think they're beautiful too, there's something ethereal about them and that call, hauntingly eerie ☺️
I love these Metal Birds. I want one so I can teach it to head bang!!!
They're indeed super cute !
I think they're hilarious
these and tree dogs belong to the same universe🤔
Why his mouth is SO LARGE??
To eat
To costume any human that gets in its way
@@TheInkSideofThings to eat entire watermelons or what? XD
@@how_tragic it would be awesome 😂
For my big cocc
The common one kinda sounds like Goofy when he falls off a cliff.
Never seen such a strange bird before. Nature is splendid!!!
Cool video. Spotted my first common potoo last week. Perched on a dead tree stump and almost invisible. Best wishes from Panama 🇵🇦
Cool! En que parte de Panamá?!
For some reason their shape when they're sitting in the trees reminds of me of a moth
We were visited by a Nyctibius Griseus on a tree in our garden, here in Joinville, Brazil. When I realized that that piece of trunk was actually a bird, I almost died of fright! The song reminded me of a wailing ghost ...
It’s like a grotesque cuteness. I can’t stop looking
Here in Australia we have a similar like bird called the Tawny frogmouth, they also look like a treebranch and have a huge mouth to swallow food. They too also have an unusual call.
Wait i thought the frogmouth and pootoo were the same thing?
0:58 Its a rare sight, A bird howling. Lol
I don't have any money, so that makes me "potoo"! I am just discovering this beautiful bird, today, July 15 2021! It is now my second favorite next to the owl! My third favorite is the Brazilian Bell Bird even though he always yells at his girl! LOL.
MOOOOOOOOOOM
nice rain world pfp bro
Bet this bird started all the jungle ghost myth back in the past.
The beautiful derp bird
If rebirth is indeed possible, I now want to come back as a dead branch, frog mouthed, screaming demon potoo and raise my own fungus ball young. Incredible, thank you for the video 🌹
They are freakin' precious!
If I heard that cry in the middle of the night I might just light myself on fire because forget trying to run or locate the source, that's noise is just my final buzzer to let me know my time is up lol
Bruv🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣my exact sentiments. We hear that noise demon/ghost movies knowing it's fake. But to know that sound in real life. Yea I'm just gonna die where I stand
Looks like a hand puppet!!😍
I watched one up in a Breadfruit tree for several days, and kept wondering why I could not see the head of this "owl" clearly! BTW, now I know why Jamaicans call Owls "Patoos."
THE CALL DIFFERS *"MAAAWWWWMMMM MAWM MAWM MAAAAWWWWWMMMMM"*
I love them. Adorable. That call….. supernatural.
It’s the wall-eyed stare when you see them face on that gets me 😆
Wow so amazing. Need to cuddle him.😊
I am amazed, we have been to Costa Rica and saw many unusual species but not once were we informed about potoos ,they are absolutely fabulous aren't they?
2:37 When you forget to clear your search history
2:18 Me when Someone see My Watch History
They're beautiful
Those are some of the coolest birds in the world.
Omg it’s so horrifying but I love it so much 😂😂😂
ok but like the lil frog birds are actually lowkey cute.
Very interesting. I have never heard of this bird. Thank you for sharing this informative video.
Fabulous! Thank you. First time I've ever seen or heard of these guys🙏🦉💚🐾
me too. im fascinated.
Wow, how incredibly beautiful! Always saw these in my feed, but it's the first time watching a short doc about them :O
The Lord really planned things to work out beautifully.
What an imagination god has.so beautiful and unique.Count Potoo
Some really excellent footage!
What a fascinating bird! Thanks for sharing this awesome video. I enjoyed it very much. 👍
I wasn’t expecting that scream 😂
Excellent footage! Really impressive. Just a note that the Great also occurs throughout the Caribbean lowlands.
This is my new favorite creature. Never seen one b4 last week on youtube. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED VIDEOS TO UA-cam. 👍
Love the casual 'this is a potoo (sad whistle noise) and this is a northern potoo (evil laughter)' cos listening to it without looking at the vid makes it seem like there is a guy holding two potoo birds, one is a sad stick and the other a possessed stick.
I really love these birds. They are so strange and cute. The sound they make is a bit disturbing though.
This is why people get creeped out in the woods, they imagine the sound is from bigfoot.
When all the time it's from bigmouth.

"This branch seems sturdy-"
branch *demon noises*
This is such a great video! Informative, great soundtrack, and humorous narrative.
Mmfg the calls are HAUNTING!
Sweet Mother of God! After that beautiful flute sound thing... there came hell!
*new sub, thank you for your awesome nature channel* 🙏🏾
Wow, amazing . This is the first time seeing these wonderful creatures
2:37 - Homerus Simpsonatus
That's one of the craziest looking birds I've seen in a while here on UA-cam 😁 Not sure what to make off it yet : Stick Insect / Kameleon / Frog / Bird mix... but pretty cool documentary 👍👍👍
They are so beautiful❤
Lovely! They look very similar to our tawny frogmouths in Australia.
Scariest bird I've ever seen
Google Harpy Eagle or Shoebill stork, those are huge and scary 😭
Vivi,i agree....harpy eagle and owl hawks look instead lovely
Zefrank should do a video on this absolute unit! xD
Just when you think you've seen every type of bird you can, this thing pops up. What a bizarre little beast. Haven't had a WTF Bird moment like this since I discovered Turkey Vultures, which apparently live in my area.
2:30 Potoos' reaction to seeing a camera for the first time 😅🤣
You can found this bird cry at night in “Genshin Impact” at the Chinese mountains area. It so spooky.
The sound of the northern potoo genuinely startled me
I hate that.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
When the bird at the end said "mOoOm" I felt that.......haha
Freaky ass bird...I hope to never see one of those things staring into my house from the bush or tree(s) outside my house especially at night. Thankfully, unless one escapes a zoo, I should be ok since I live in the far north of North America.
@Marlon Quintana-Nieto don't throw a wrench at it..
Marlon Quintana-Nieto They’re endangered tho :’(
@Lord Quin LMAO
@Lord Quin There are no potoos native to northern Texas. I live in Brownsville and have not seen a single sighting.
Idem,aurelia astre
2:37 deeerp
They are so cute! I love them!
I think they are one of the most fascinating birds I have ever seen!!! Wow who knew!! I love it really really cool bird!!)
