Description
Here's another Frogmouth from my current bird project. Frogmouths get their name from their extraordinarily large mouths, which it many ways does resemble a frog's mouth. They are distant cousins to owls.
The Large Frogmouth is the largest of the Asian frogmouths and occurs very sparsely in south peninsular Thailand; Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia; Kalimantan (including the Natuna and Labuan islands) and Sumatra, Indonesia, and Brunei. The female of the species is lighter and duller in color. They are most active at dusk and first light.
They eat mostly nocturnal insects, worms, slugs and snails; as well as small mammals, reptiles, frogs and small birds. They feed by sallying to catch insects on the ground or from branches.
This frogmouth is "Near Threatened" due to the extensive destruction of the forest in the Sundaic lowlands of Indonesia for commercial gain.
