FANCY THAT....

The general assumption here is that the brightest, most active, aggressive, colorful males (and sometimes females) attract the best or most (for polygamous species) females, ensuring that their offspring have the best genes. It’s also reasoned that this is a tradeoff as the most obvious males would be most likely to attract predators and/or be more susceptible to predators as they may not be able to fly as well with long tails (for example), but it’s worth the risk.
