This comes from The Hub. I ran across it accidentally and learned a lot about some very weird sharks.

The display of the Magnificent Riflebird shows how important minute details can be. The male abruptly fans one wing and then the next, using footwork to keep the female directly in front of him, where he can control what she sees. Interestingly, females may participate as well. Eventually the performance subsides into a nearly motionless pose as the male waits for the female’s decision. Filmed and photographed by Tim Laman, Ed Scholes, Eric Liner and Benjamin Clock.
