Podargidae - frogmouths
The Podargidae family includes 13 species of frogmouths. Frogmouths are found in India, Asia, and Australia. They have a large, flattened, hooked bill that looks like a frog's mouth when it is open! Frogmouths are nocturnal and they eat insects. People sometimes confuse frogmouths with owls, but they don't have talons like owls; in fact their feet are very small! |
