Peafowl, and peacocks especially, are known to be aggressive, fiercely territorial birds. Peahens who have laid eggs will attack anyone who gets too close to their nest, and peacocks – who prefer to keep a harem of peahens to themselves when mating – will attack other males when they feel encroached upon.

The collective noun for a group of students is “class” or “batch” or “assembly” or “flock” or “congregation” or “council”.

A student is a person who goes to school and is learning something. Students can be children, teenagers, or adults who are going to school, but it may also be other people who are learning, such as in college or university. A younger student is often called a pupil.

The term “peacock” is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl.

Males are usually the most colorful sex because females are more likely to be in short supply due to the extra work involved in incubation and chick rearing. Males must thus compete for the chance to mate with them.

The peacock is one of the most beautiful of birds. The male’s colourful and very large tail feathers have won the animal admiration the world over. Their long tails are a blessing and a curse. Such large feathers (up to 150cm long) inhibit the bird’s movement and affect its ability to evade predators.

As compared to males, female peacocks are less attractive, as they lack the long covert feathers that are found in males. However, their brownish-gray plumage helps them in camouflaging.

Attractive traits in males are indicators of higher testosterone, and attractive traits in females signal higher oestrogen. Both of these hormones are linked to fertility. Both sexes are usually heavily involved in parental care, so it makes sense that both have evolved to be beautiful.

Many arachnid groups exhibit sexual dimorphism, but it is most widely studied in the spiders. In the orb-weaving spider Zygiella x-notata, for example, adult females have a larger body size than adult males.

Male animals are generally more colorful because they have to compete with other males to attract females. Bright colors can provide a “signal” to the females about the overall quality of a male and his genes.

“Many years ago, a scientific paper suggested that female T. rex are bigger than males. However, this was based on records from 25 broken specimens and our results show this level of data just isn’t good enough to be able to make this conclusion,” Dr Hone added.

There are many species of birds where females are larger than males (especially among birds of prey, shorebirds, and some flightless birds), but phalaropes and eclectus parrots are the only ones I can think of where the females are brighter. Yes. In the genus Phalaropus females are bigger and more brightly colored.

Many species of animals engage in some type of courtship display to attract a mate, such as dancing, the creation of sounds, and physical displays. However, many species are not limited to only one of these behaviors.

In most species, females are choosier when picking a mate than males. A significant reason for this is the higher investment females make in each gamete than males. Males may be under strong selection for certain traits that are favored by females.
