There are some skilled dancers among birds. The peacock is a graceful dancer we all know, and so is the great argus.
The great argus display its fan of feathers during its mating dance. The male prepares the dancing ground on the forest floor by clearing an open spot.
He lets out loud calls to attract the female and dances before her by spreading his feather to make two huge fans. Like the peacock, the great argus too has hundreds of eyes on its feathers.
It is a shy, jungle bird that is difficult to spot. The bird is endowed with some enchanting physical features.
It is a brown-plumaged pheasant with a blue head and neck, rufous red upper breast, black hair-like feathers on the crown and nape, and red legs.
The males of the species are considered to be the largest in the pheasant family with a length of 160 to 200 centimetres. The tail alone will measure up to 143 centimetres.
The bird is native to the jungle of Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia.
