The Moluccan owlet-frogmouth is a small nocturnal bird with very long stiff bristles around the beak. It lives only in the forests of several islands in the Moluccas archipelago in Indonesia.
The Moluccan owlet-frogmouth differs from related species with particularly long facial bristles. It helps the forest ecosystem by reducing the population of pest insects.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
