  • The Home of the Oil-Bird The oilbird (Steatornis caripensis), locally known as the guácharo, is a bird species found in the northern areas of South America including the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Nesting in colonies in caves, oilbirds are nocturnal feeders on the fruits of the oil palm and tropical laurels. They are the only nocturnal flying fruit-eating birds in the world (the kakapo, also nocturnal, is flightless). They forage at night, with specially adapted eyesight. However they navigate by echolocation in the same way as bats, one of the few birds to do so. They produce a high-pitched clicking sound of around 2 kHz that is audible to humans from the The royal natural history edited by Richard Lydekker, Volume IV published in 1895

Its mottled brown colouration provides camouflage as it roosts, resting motionless and looking like a short branch. It may reach a length of almost 40 centimetres, with a wingspan of around a metre. The female is slightly larger than the male. Photographed in the Hefer valley, Israel in may

This species is native to most wooded environments of its distribution, and more so than any other owl in its range, has adapted well to manmade development, although it frequently avoids detection due to its strictly nocturnal habits.

  • The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) [Here as Lesser Flying Phalanger] is a small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal gliding possum belonging to the marsupial infraclass. The common name refers to its predilection for sugary foods such as sap and nectar and its ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel. They have very similar habits and appearance to the flying squirrel, despite not being closely related—an example of convergent evolution. The scientific name, Petaurus breviceps, translates from Latin as "short-headed rope-dancer", a reference to their canopy acrobatics. from ' A hand-book to the marsupialia and monotremata ' by Richard Lydekker, Lloyd's Natural History Series edited by R.

  • The desert owl or desert tawny owl (Strix hadorami), formerly known as Hume's owl.
