What screams, cries, laughs, and looks like a muppet? That’s right, it’s the Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides). Its vocalizations range from deep grunts to loud hisses and have been likened to a crying baby! Found in Australia, this nocturnal bird is a sit-and-wait predator—meaning that it waits for dinner to deliver itself. As a result, it can spend hours at a time remaining perfectly still. When motionless, its mottled plumage resembles the bark of a tree. But as prey approaches, this bird strikes, descending on nearly silent wings.

today I found out that there was a 1983 memo sent out during Fraggle Rock's pre-production about Muppet performances and it included this helpful illustration

No, it’s not a muppet. This unforgettable primate, found in the mangrove forests of Borneo, is the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)! Also known as the long-nosed monkey, males of this species sport a distinctive drooping proboscis, which acts like a resonating chamber to amplify their vocalizations. Scientists think it’s a sexually selected trait—meaning that females prefer louder (and bigger-nosed) mates.
