One species of nightjar in the Caprimulgidae family is the large-eared nightjar (Lyncornis macrotis). It can be found in some regions of Southeast Asia and southwest India. This enormous nightjar features long, barred wings, a barred tail, and long, frequently recumbent ear tufts. Its throat band is white, yet its wings and tail are whitish.
Fortunately for us, the big-eared nightjar exists even
though we don't have any fire-breathing dragons that can fly!
The shadowy depths of Southeast Asia's tropical forests
are home to the big-eared nightjar, also known as the little dragon.
Being nocturnal animals, they like to explore the forest
at night, when they can blend in seamlessly with their surroundings.
Their ability to blend in seamlessly with the foliage of
the tropical forest is quite remarkable.
These cute little dragons could easily pass for
characters from Game of Thrones or Harry Potter, but they are actually birds.
The great-eared nightjar is a unique bird that appears
unlike any other that we have ever seen.
