Sunda Frogmouth

Batrachostomus mixtus

The Sunda Frogmouth (Batrachostomus mixtus) is a species of bird found in Southeast Asia. It is known for its distinctive frog-like appearance, with a wide beak and large eyes. This nocturnal bird is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly with its forest habitat during the day. The Sunda Frogmouth feeds primarily on insects, which it catches in flight using its wide gape. It is a solitary bird, often perching motionless on tree branches, relying on its cryptic plumage to avoid detection. The Sunda Frogmouth is not currently considered to be at risk, but habitat loss and deforestation pose potential threats to its population in the future.

Habitat: Tropical forests of Southeast Asia
