Booty Call! Pheasant Tries to Woo Female Partner With Mating Dance – Video

In a video going viral on social media, a male argus pheasant can be seen performing the mating dance around his female partner, spreading his tail and wings into two enormous fans, revealing the hundreds of flashy eye-spots on its feathers.

​While the Indian Forest Service officer, who shared the video, revealed that as per experts she seems impressed but netizens believe otherwise.

​

​However, this breeding is believed to be remarkable as the male first clears an open spot in the forest, one where there are no leaves, and prepares a dancing ground. He then announces himself with loud calls to attract females before beginning the mating dance.
