A week’s animal|The punch spinner sees through his eyelids.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
The pollinators are peculiar looking birds with huge eyes and big mouth, scientist Niko Kettunen writes in his Column of the Week.
South America’s dumbbell spikers are masters to disguise as part of the tree.
Thumbed spikes see through their eyelids and prey at night insects and small birds.
These beings called the ghostly laid straight to the branches and do not build a nest.
Spring The birds return from their trips. But what if there were sometimes newcomers among the old familiar migratory birds?
If suddenly, even if there was a staring at the woodpecker on the forest path, staring at the tree in the wood, its dick -eyed appearance would surely surprise you suddenly.
Dumbbells (Nyctibiidae) are fun -looking birds. They are like a cartoon. They have huge eyes and a big mouth that opens from ear to ear. When the bird’s beak is succeeded, it shows nothing but a mouth.
The spikeders live in South America and have seven species. The name is relevant, because mostly they spend their time in a dumbbell or decaying tree. However, they do not spin. In the past, it was thought that they were related to spinners, today they are thought different.
The big -one spinner is Great in English.
Dull So the looking bird sits in the darts for days and tries to present that he is part of the wood.
The bird is incredibly good to disguise. When it closes its eyes and puts its head in a suitable position, it cannot be separated from wood. It looks like a broken branch of the tree, that is, some of the darts itself.
This cannot live indefinitely, but sometimes you have to eat. A dumbbell spiker prey at night and swings with insects and bugs flying nearby to his nonsense. The big mouth can accommodate a small bird.
With his big eyes, the punch spinner sees well in the dark, like an owl. But it has a cunning accessory in its eyes, because it can see your eyes closed. The bird’s eyelids have some kind of notches through which it sees the danger approaching. This way it dares to sit in the wood with eyes in the middle of the day.
So be alert, the dart spinner can spy.
Bird It is also strange that it does not bother to build a nest at all. It just lays straight into a suitable branch of the branch or drooling.
The pollinators are also known in the rainforest as they have a ghost bird, as they have a rumble and a sad sound, a sub-new UU-UU-UU.
In English, the name of the bird is in its brevity pumping. Somehow it seems to fit this. The big -size spinner is great potoo.
