Though its feathers aren’t as colorful as many other pheasants’, male Malayan great arguses are known for their extraordinary courtship displays. These birds will enter an opening in the forest, loudly call to attract females, and then display their feathers in two enormous fans. The tail feathers of the Malayan great argus are the longest of any wild bird on Earth, sometimes reaching nearly five feet in length. The hundreds of spots on their wings are to thank for their name ‘Argus’ which is derived from a hundred-eyed giant in Greek mythology.
This Malayan great argus was photographed at the @HoustonZoo.
