Dikkop resting on it's knees.

I suppose it is what humans do with their elbows. I am always amazed at their large feet and thick toes, like a mini ostrich.

Do they fly much? Looks like they are well camouflaged for ground living. Beautiful details in the photo.

@shutterbug49 As the are nocturnal, they sleep all day (unless they see me with my camera) In the late afternoon//early evening, they start chasing each other and make quite a noise ;-)
