Cool Animal of the Day: The Great Eared Nightjar

Check out that Great Eared Nightjar, man. Looks sorta pissed off, right? This little dude is found in southwest India and in parts of Southeast Asia. It has long barred wings, a barred tail and long ear-tufts which are often recumbent. Recumbent means lying down, but I’m sure you already knew that. Oh, and those “great ears” aren’t ears. Just feathers. Anywho, Great Eared Nightjar.
