Bizarre Mating Ritual Of The Frigatebird | Wild Caribbean | BBC Earth

[@Haseri8]

My favourite part of every nature doc is when they have a weird bird mating ritual

[@shayanyousaf2132]

VERY NICE VIDEO

[@afridi0182]

👍🤝🙋🏾‍♀️

[@Yinlock470]

for birds when food is abundant enough/there's not many predators the males and females immediately enter an evolutionary mating arms race, wherin males evolve insane light shows to get the attention of females who can afford to be way pickier

[@Slateproc]

Their dewlap could pop in the same way your cheek would tear

[@TheDominionOfElites]

Sure it’s possible, no living body is impervious. It’s probably tougher than it looks and able to heal or scab over so they can breathe.
