Great argus (Argusianus argus) male courtship dancing and displaying before female. Though the great argus is not as colorful as other pheasants, its display surely ranks among the most remarkable.

The male clears an open spot in the forest and prepares a dancing ground. He announces himself with loud calls to attract females, then he dances before her with his wings spread into two enormous fans, revealing hundreds of "eyes" while his real eyes are hidden behind it, staring at her.
