The Podargidae family includes around 15 species. Frogmouths are found in Asia and Australia and the surrounding islands.

Frogmouths have a large, flattened, hooked bill that looks like a frog’s mouth when it is open. During the day, they stretch out horizontally on tree branches and sleep.

Their cryptic coloration helps them blend in with the bark of trees.

Frogmouths are nocturnal, and they eat insects and small animals like frogs and mice. They often beat their prey against rocks after they capture it.

People sometimes confuse frogmouths with owls, but they don’t have talons like owls; in fact, their feet are tiny. They are more closely related to nightjars.
