I love how their dances are either sophisticated and artistic, or awkward and nerdy.

[@sheilameyers152]

It must be mating season …. isn’t that when they get showy and fancy… showing off!

[@Gatozzzz]

Lmao

[@mikenorledge4110]

Why is nature beautiful, hilarious and terrifying all at once?

[@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006]

Still looking for the answer for this too.

[@Adol9108]

and funny in some times 😂

[@rausanrau9881]

Dude, I don't know how is it possible, but, I guess the answere isn't something general, each one has his point, for some is more terrifying, for others it's more beautiful, and for others it's more hilarious, like many things, it depends on the person

Seriously, if I was a bird and this dude started doing this 'dance' in front of me, I'd fly the hell out of that tree!

[@ThePhantomStinker]

It's the way everything but his eyes completely blends in with it. Which, to be fair, probably would convince me, as a female bird, that this is a suitable mate. Female: "Sure, I'll bet you would build a decent nest... But what about predators? How do you expect to keep the nest safe from-" Male: (does his shadow demon impression) Female: "I... Yeah, that would do it..."

Looks like we could learn a few steps from the birds. Pure joy to watch them dancing - no alcohol involved!

[@gigabit896]

Now imagine a 12 ft tyrannosaurus doing the same thing

[@sagapulastation1711]

3:00

[@gigabit896]

T rex are supposed to be an average of 12 ft to the hip, but that's only speculation based on the fossils we have found (they are taller and smaller skeletons with this height), and that's also not taking in fact that the t-rex could lift his head above his hips. So yeah, tyrannosaures could be taller than 12 ft. But I still think that a 12 ft killing machine waving its feathers frantically is a pretty terrifying idea

[@invadervylora6059]

how about a 100 foot doom bot?

It's great that many of the Birds-of-Paradise actually clear a dance floor of twigs and leaves just to perform for the females. And for those awesome hopping cranes, I think they were pidder-pattering on the ground to make the worms comes up (mimick the sound of rain) anyway, I love this!

[@nirnel]

[@hannaha4631]

I've seen footage of a one of the rarer Japanese cranes doing a promenade kind of dance with their mate, it was actually really elegant how synchronized they were with their steps and their bowing.

[@shitpost_status_zero6093]

Actually, the cranes do dance like that to attract a mate! They are just goofy about the whole dance business. xD

"Worthwhile" - Interesting choice of words. Definition: "being worth the time or effort spent." Worthwhile indicates that there was a plan and some effort involved. We call it "Creation". In His handiwork the Creator reveals Himself to you . Hope you can see Him!
