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.
