Wow. True. But maybe he should like tell her that he wants to be with her, maybe she didn't get it that it was for her, the show, and he wants something from her ??? I mean, in human life i think that happens often. Then, after years, when they confess their feelings and intentions they had, they are like REALLY ??? YOU LIKED ME ??? THAT WAS... FOR ME ???? and stuff like that
Lol, yep. Male is like, "Wut, u don't like my giant oversized neon blue on black frowny face up in your business???" Female like: "Arrrrgghhh! Get away!"
Brittanie Wilson i fear i am not john, but a smol weeaboo child living in the states! although being john would be pretty neat i only have a couple breath shirts and some cosplay stuff :^(
Bk Jeong no? my mistake, I was told it was in Brazil from a teacher who showed us this. I realize it's in New Guinea and the surrounding area, correct?
+CANADAWOOOOOOOOO Those birds are endemic to New Guinea Island, not Amazon. And New Guinea Island is divided to two political regions. The Eastern New Guinea as Papua New Guinea country, and The Western New Guinea is a part of Indonesian Provinces.
After my wife telling me for the thousandth time that “I’m not in the mood. Put me in the mood” I’ve come to realize that this dude is my spirit animal. Not a cheetah or a lion, but this little guy. I’m getting a tattoo of him soon. Every time my wife says her infamous line to me I’ll look at my tattoo and think about my spirit animal in the jungle dancing away, doing his damn best to get laid too!
the merits of sexual selection often don't pose any evolutionary advantages, that's natural selection. There is a difference; Twerking fat asses = sexual selection. Being a respectable and responsible adult who has a good job and can provide a fruitful life for offspring = natural selection.
So beautiful... It's even more amazing to think how we evolved our cleaning, fitting, & attracting practices from these birds & animals... They show a small cute version of what they've evolved in us through billions of years!!!
It's called lek mating. It happens when there's many males and few females occupying a small isolated area (like an island). The competition causes the females to become small, drab-colored and VERY choosy, while the males become huge, wildly colorful and extremely persuasive. They each stake out a small area of ground and basically throw the ol' razzle-dazzle on the females when they wander by. They don't seek them out; the lady birds are simply too busy and in-demand for that kind of thing. They'll look over probably 300 males (and 300 separate "shows") before they pick one to mate with. The other 299 males will die without reproducing. Remind anybody of anything?
People think the dinosaur mating dances in Prehistoric Planet were weird. Some of these birds spend a month cleaning out an area just to turn into a ufo
Dang Jongo! This is a pretty sick display from the weird and wonderful creatures. If only I could make a video as good as this one. I even liked it! Toodeloo!
I’m sorry, but the face one gets me every time. We watched this is school and I’m still dead over it. I feel like I know why the female left. If a guy irl approached me and shoved a giant creepy blue face into my face I’d get out of there as fast as possible.
Would love to have a video timeline for this bird for the last, oh say, million years. Just to see how that "dance" and "coloration" evolved over time........ OMG I had to chuckle at the "design" from the front, with those eyes over what could pass for a mouth - how the colors evolved . Maybe the very first "smiley face" ! :)
My favorite part is :45 in when the little black bird back flips off that tree limp so casually. Just, I need to get down now, whoop! XD nature is awesome.
In the great island of New Guinea there are 42 different species of birds of paradise, each more bizarre than the last. This forest is so rich that nourishing food can be gathered very quickly. That leaves the male six-plumed bird of paradise with time to concentrate on other matters, like tidying up his display area. Everything must be spick and span. All is ready. Very impressive. But no-one is watching. The superb bird of paradise calls to attract a female. And he has more luck. But what does he have to do to really impress her? She retires to consider her verdict. It's hard not to feel deflated when even your best isn't good enough.
