• The common potoo is now one of the seven potoos placed in the genus Nyctibius that was introduced in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot.
• The genus Nyctibius was introduced in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot to accommodate a single species, Comte de Buffon's "Le Grande Engoulevent de Cayenne", the great potoo, which thus becomes the type species.
• For example, the potoo, a South American bird, habitually perches on a tree, convincingly resembling a broken stump of a branch, while a butterfly, Kallima, looks just like a dead leaf.
• Endemic avian species include the Greater Antillean bullfinch (Melopyrrha violacea), American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber), Antillean piculet (Nesoctites micromegas), Greater Antillean grackle (Quiscalus niger), Hispaniolan emerald (Riccordia swainsonii), Hispaniolan mango (Anthracothorax dominicus), Abbott's northern potoo (Nyctibius jamaicensis abbottii), vervain hummingbird (Mellisuga minima) and the Hispaniolan parrot (Amazona ventralis), among many others.

• Other species nearly as large as the potoo are the Papuan frogmouth (Podargus papuensis) of New Guinea and the neotropic, cave-dwelling oilbird (Steatornis caripensis), both growing as large as.
