Why it matters
The Papuan Frogmouth is a masterful example of evolutionary camouflage, relying on its mottled plumage to vanish against tree bark while it hunts insects at night. With its broad wings and rounded tail, this elusive bird is highly prized by birdwatchers for its silent flight and distinctive, haunting call that echoes through the rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia.
