Hooded Grebe courtship dance, rare footage from "Tango in the Wind" 

SooHyun Jang right! And they do it backwards... so damn funny 😄

Wth are they even doing? 😂😂

It’s very funny I also can’t stop laughing

"Do you want to go bro?"

Omg samw

i was thinking, thats exactly what it looks like theyre doing

As they say, nature has been inspiring humans all the time.

Apparently turning your neck into a seesaw is apart of the tango

efectivamente

Infox right

Religious karens: dInOsAuRs ArEnT rEaL!!1!!1!

Makes you wonder what kind of bizarre mating dances dinosaurs had back in the day, doesn't it?

@@Flufux Imagine an Argentinosaurous just rockin' out :P

🙄 birds have no relation to dinasaurs.

@@darnellhenderson1910 Why don't you do some actual research on the subject, and then say that again?

LMAO

I remember the video, good times, good times

no homo

@@hoodedtroodon2901 What video is it? i cant find it

Is it the funniest home videos?

When your neighbors are two dancing ducks XD

LOL

I sure hope the neighbors’ kids aren’t doing a mating dance.

@@realname7392 SWEET HOME ALABAMA

They were too good for you anyway

@Jack McHue if they all dance like that, it has to be passed down through DNA.

@@cw9249 maybe some are a lil different

@@matjamesmusic i would say that you are wrong. Yes mating is driven by hormones, but its not hormones that have the "structural" information on how the brain is built. Thats the job of the DNA. The piece of DNA that specifies how the brain is built probably contains a smaller piece that hard codes that dance into their brains. Subsequently that dance is triggerd by the mating hormones. Take chickens for example. I have a farm and i incubate eggs using an artificial incubator. The small chicks know how to drink, eat, walk, flap their wings in order to get somewhere high. Who taught them that?? No one. They have these actions hard coded into their DNA and subsequently their brain.

@@dieselgeezer18 chickens being pre programmed how to eat, drink and basically look after themselves isn’t the same as a courtship dance. The desire to have and be capable of learning the courtship dance comes through dna but the actual moves are learned by younger birds watching older birds and trial and error. .the same in birds of paradise. The young males learn by watching the older males and by trial and error. This is all well documented in David Attenboroughs the life of birds dvd’s

@@happybee7725 Another great example of learned behaviors is the "apprenticeship" method used by long tailed manikins in tropical montane forests. During the breeding season, aggregations of males form groups called leks where the females select which male has the superior gene pool by their courtship presentation. They will subsequently copulate, but the females might mate with multiple males to both ensure fertilization and to combine the genes of all of the males in order to produce a genetically diverse offspring. This is a purely instinctual breeding paradigm, and they have evolved to perfect their displays to increase the chances of their genetic code being passed on to future generations. This applies to all species who exhibit lemming behavior, but the long tailed manikins have complex intraspecific breeding dynamics that showcase a unique aspect of sexual selection.

*smack *

Oh my goodness 😂😂😂

Lol i was expecting it to be so graceful

are you a bird

I cant fucking stop thinking about "very similar to my own method"

I cant swim so yeah

Fr

wtf-

Bahahaha

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Whyyoutubewhy.. wat da 🅱 doin???

You are right

I have been summoned by mark

True

Don't forget Jack

Le tango my friend, LE TANGO!

i cant remember what its called but i know what u are talking about

A handcar

@@NotSoGoodGamer18 Yes

Seesaw lookin thing

No it is not your not animals nor is your friend so stop 🛑 commenting that on a critically endangered species.

I assume that you two are now mated for life then. Congratulations on your egg clutch.

Elline Nega. Shut up. Your probably the reason these species and endangered damn.

@@ellinenega7634 it's called a relatable meme, if you had more than 5 braincells and didint live under a rock, then you might know.

@@ellinenega7634 Never thought a joke could fly over someone's head so fast

Free to bob my head as a courtship dance without being judged

@@sarahcunha7607💯💯💯

LOL

THat’s the mating dance?! lolololol Could you imagine two people doing that? lol

@@Equinerhael thats the tango

@@VikingGamers1155 The tango mixed with heavy metal headbanging

Yes, the eandering albatross.

@Anna Dorozynski I don't remember making this comment until now, lol yes

Top 10 love stories that are better than Twilight! 😂😂😂

I think the word your searching for is fascinating!!

I don't think the human neck can physically bend like that though.

What doesn’t stop us from trying?

@@Flufux there is a thing called a spine

You need to see the full documentary ;)

me too. its mezmerizing.

I love it also

Apparently

yes everybody just starts freaking out but there is always this one kid who doesn't freak out and just interacts with the bee on it's hand which would be me

I can't either

Ah yes, the chicken and the turkey
