Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to meet the most adorable creature you've ever seen - the Great-Eared Nightjar! Now, we know what you're thinking, "A nightjar? That sounds like a boring bird." But trust us, this little guy is basically a cute lil dragon! With its big, round eyes and fluffy feathers, the Great-Eared Nightjar looks like it stepped right out of a fairy tale. And those ears? They're not just big, they're majestic!

And let's not forget about the way it flies - it's like it's hovering in mid-air, just like a dragon. And when it opens its mouth wide to catch insects, it's like it's breathing fire!

And with its dragon-like appearance, it's sure to be a hit with fans of fantasy and mythology. Give it up for our magical friend!

You can't convince us that this isn't actually a tiny dragon. It's feathers really look like scales! Our childhood self would have loved to have one of these as a pet. Dracarys!

Let's talk about their hunting style. They fly around at night, catching insects in mid-air with their wide mouths. It's like they're playing a game of "catch the bug" - but the bugs don't stand a chance.
