Bornean Frogmouth

Lyncornis macrotis

The Bornean Frogmouth (Lyncornis macrotis) is a nocturnal bird species found in the rainforests of Borneo. It is known for its distinctive appearance, with a large head, wide gape, and prominent bristles around the bill. This bird is a master of camouflage, often perching motionless on tree branches during the day, resembling a broken tree stump. Its diet primarily consists of insects and small vertebrates. The Bornean Frogmouth is a solitary bird, and its haunting call can often be heard at night in the dense forests. Due to habitat loss and deforestation, the conservation status of this species is currently listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
