- Abstract
When walking through a tropical forest within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome, it is important to always be aware of one's surroundings. Nightjars are nocturnal birds that use camouflage to minimize detection by possible predators, especially during the daytime, as they have the habit of resting on the forest floor or on branches (Cleere N. 1999. This is not only due to the possibility of encountering physical obstacles or venomous animals, but also because various organisms, sometimes camouflaged, are almost always in your path.
