Great eared nightjars are found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, and they’re nocturnal, so they roam the forests under the cover of darkness. Besides the way they look, something unique about them is that they make their nests on the forest floor, and their babies are well-camouflaged by all of the leaves.

For whatever reason, these birds barely look like birds at all. They look more like fluffy little dragons or creatures from the Harry Potter movies. They’re adorable and delightful to look at either way and definitely help to bring our favorite fantasy worlds to life. There are other species of nightjar out there, too, but none are quite as unique as these little dragons. The great eared nightjar is truly one of a kind.

So if someone ever looks up to the sky and swears they saw a dragon fly by, we shouldn’t be so quick to discount them. It definitely could have been one of these guys spreading a little magic.

She expected to have some quiet time, assuming she was alone , but someone secretly lurked in the distance. Moments later, a tabby cat with white paws appeared on her driveway. Eller recognized the cat, whom her family had seen roaming around the neighborhood. They initially thought he was part of a known stray colony in the woods, but his behavior when he showed up at her house that day suggested otherwise.

Video Shows Puppy When He First Arrived At Shelter — And 432 Days Later [Y]ou could tell how sad he was." Spinach came to Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) as a puppy with a ruptured eye, and if they hadn’t taken him, he would have been put down.

Unfortunately, over 432 days later, Spinach was still waiting for a home.- Tiktok- link “When he was in the playgroup, he was happy and joyful because he loved to play with other dogs,” Frankie Helfey, an APA! volunteer, told The Dodo. “Then you would see him in his kennel, and it was heartbreaking because you could tell how sad he was.
