# 67. The colourful dancer.

The strutting peacock with its spectacular tail is one of the most colourful courting males. While seeking for a mate the peacock opens its long train to form a fan spanning about 5 feet. It then lets out loud rasping shrieks to attract the dull and plain female to the colourful display put on for her sake.
 
# 68. Honeymoon suite.

Who could resist this kind of colorful decoration
and an open invitation?


The bower-bird of Australia and New Guinea does not call for a mate. Instead the male lures the female with an elaborate work of art - a bower of love.

These hut like structures are built in small clearings. They are painted with the mixture of plant juice and saliva.

They are decorated with flowers, berries, shells or bones. Some are even surrounded by garden of moss, twigs and stones.

Each species build its own particular type of bower. Some elaborate bowers have thousands of twigs and hundreds of decorations.

After mating they abandon the honeymoon suits - built by the male spending many days. The hen builds a nest on the tree and lays her eggs there.
 
# 69. The gent who was a lady!

An unusual male - female relationship exists among the brightly colored cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

The pugnacious 4 inches long fish defends its territory and his harem of up to 16 females. In addition to patrolling he must keep his females in line.

One of these females usually dominates the others. The male is very aggressive to her - since she threatens to assume his role and even his gender.

Only hours after the death of the male the dominant female takes on his role. She presides over the harem and assumes distinct male behavior.

Within a month she becomes a fully functional male. The next dominant female will become the male after this female-turned-male.
