Lace up your dancing shoes cause this guys going to teach you how to bust
a move… the BROLGA
CRANE.
Living in
the open swamp lands of Australia, this critter isn’t just long legged and
handsome. These monogamous birds are best known for having the most elaborate
courtship displays in the animal kingdom. At around 2-3 years of age, Brolga’s
begin searching for that lucky lady! Once
she’s spotted, males will lay down their most impressive dance moves, which
begin by the tossing of grass into the air. Head bobbing, flapping, prancing, jumping,
pirouetting, bowing and wing shaking are all part of this critters eye catching
routine. If she accepts, than each year
no matter how long they’ve been together they will dance with one another. Sounds like something out of The Notebook right? Although this performance is primarily a mating practice,
pairs will dance year around, scientists believe that this helps
strengthen the couples bond. While they are typically found in small family
groups of 3-4 which includes both parents and juvenile offspring, family groups
of up to 1000 will gather together during non- breeding seasons in order to feed.
So… how can we apply this to our dating
lives, just remember; couples that dance together STAY together.
