An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The interior of its beak is colored and patterned like the petals of a flower, so that when it has its mouth open it looks exactly like an open b loom. This elaborate mimicry is designed to deceive insects and provides the potoo with a meal by merely opening its mouth. Because tropical grassland flowers appear only when there is adequate moisture, the potoo migrates seasonally with the rains.
