urutau

Ave noturna das florestas tropicais da América Central e do Sul, do México à Argentina, o urutau-comum (Nyctibius griseus) é mestre em camuflagem críptica: durante o dia repousa imóvel sobre tocos de árvores quebrados ou galhos com os olhos quase fechados, assemelhando-se tão perfeitamente à casca que fica quase invisível para predadores. À noite caça grandes insetos a partir de poleiros expostos com sua enorme boca. Seus lamentos melancólicos e uivos — frequentemente descritos como assombrosos ou arrepiantes — ecoam pelas noites das florestas tropicais.
