There are a total of three species of peacocks in the world, blue peacock, green peacock and Congolese peacock. Peacock origin is only 2 origins a relative! It is a side system that is still a little impatient to look at compared to the original feeling.
But in fact, the peacock family is 2 genera and three species, of which the bar blue and green peacocks are divided into peacock genera, and some people in the Congo are called African peacocks.
Peacock genus, with a total length of more than 2 meters, of which the tail screen is about 1.5 meters, is the largest of the order Chicken. The crown is emerald green, the crown is blue-green and pointed; the tail covert is particularly long, forming a tail screen, bright and beautiful; the real tail feathers are very short, dark brown. The female has no tail screen, and its plumage is dark brown and speckled.
The blue peacock is distributed in India and Sri Lanka, the green peacock is distributed in Southeast Asia, and China is only rare in the wild in western and southern Yunnan, and is a national first-class protected animal.
As for the Congolese peacock, which was not discovered until 1936, it is 70 cm long, the male is black, the top of the head has white tufts of feathers, and the female is green and brown. It is found in tropical Africa.
It is worth mentioning that why is there such a quality as a white peacock? That's because the blue peacock and the green peacock are hybridized, and their whole body is white and flawless, the feathers are not variegated, and the eyes are pale red. When the screen is opened, the white peacock is like a beautiful and dignified girl, wearing a snow-white noble wedding dress, swinging from side to side and dancing. Very beautiful.
Peacock opening screen is a means of showing off used by male peacocks to attract female peacocks, and it is also a defensive act made to protect themselves, so that the enemy does not dare to approach.
On the peacock's large tail screen, you can see the five-color golden green line pattern, which is scattered with many nearly circular "eye-shaped spots", which are composed of purple, blue, brown, yellow, red and other colors from the inside to the outside. Once the enemy is encountered and there is no time to escape, the peacock suddenly opens the screen, and then shakes it "rustling", and many eye-shaped spots move randomly, and the enemy is afraid of this "multi-eyed monster", so it does not rush forward.
In zoos, peacocks are often seen opening the screen, and zoologists believe that the color of the red and green clothes and the loud talk and laughter of tourists can stimulate the peacocks and arouse their vigilance. At this time, the peacock opens the screen, which is also a demonstration and defensive action. Anyone who pays attention to the various phenomena of nature will notice that when predators such as eagles, weasels, etc. attack the hen with the chicks, the hen will also erect its feathers and fight against the enemy. This action is just a defensive response to them. The same is true of the opening motion of the peacock when he is frightened.
Spouse aspect of the three wives and four concubines, to meet the fantasies of modern men, by women called a scumbag, and in the real world is a scumbag of the girl more, ha!
But the Congolese peacock is loyal to love.
Because the feather decoration of the Congolese peacock is not as colorful as other peacock species, its mating mechanism is monogamous, and the geographical distribution of the Congolese peacock is limited, and there is geographical isolation from other Asian peacock species. The classification of the Congolese peacock has been controversial in the scientific community, with some scholars believing that the Congolese peacock is a sister group of peacock species, while others believe that the Congolese peacock is related to the partridge species. With the development of science, people have used methods such as molecular biology to determine that the Congolese peacock belongs to the peacock species
During the day, there are more activities in the morning and afternoon, more trees or rest in the shade of the forest at noon, and roosting in trees at night. Sexual alertness, timidity and fear of people, activities from time to time to look up to see the surrounding movements, when found people far away or fly away from the wings to fly away. The chirp is high and loud.
Blue peacock artificial breeding has been on the table, green peacocks are reduced year by year without protection, then extinction may be so long, Congolese peacocks due to human reasons, the country's civil war, environmental breakage, in a self-inflicted low reproductive rate. In 2012, the statistics of only 2,500 animals looked like 700,000 ordinary kilometers, and there were about 150 Congolese peacocks in the world at zoos for people to enjoy.
