Image Description: If you’re not wowed by this photograph, then there is nothing in nature that could possibly catch your eye! Showing why it is considered one of the most prominently beautiful animals on Earth, this peacock has its tail fully open, showing off its many quills and staring “eyes.” It is those eyes that are the real purpose of the tail, and they serve two functions: given that they make the peacock look large and intimidating, the open tail feathers serve to scare away potential predators, but their look is seen as inviting by the opposite sex, giving the bird a leg up when it comes to tracking down a mate.
