おもしろい事実

Historically, people wrongly called them 'goatsuckers', believing they stole milk from goats!

They don't build nests, often laying their camouflaged eggs directly on the bare ground!

Unlike most birds, they sleep lengthwise along a branch, not across it, to enhance their camouflage!

When food is scarce or it gets cold, nightjars can go into a deep sleep called torpor, saving energy!
