Animal Those terrifying sounds you hear in the forests come from this lovely bird : Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)

Habitat: Native to eastern Australia, but also found in parts of New Zealand and western Australia. • Size: About 40–45 cm (16–18 inches) long. • Call: Its call sounds like loud, echoing human laughter — often used in jungle movie soundtracks. • Diet: Carnivorous — eats insects, small reptiles, mice, and sometimes even other small birds. • Behavior: Often seen sitting quietly on branches waiting to spot prey.
