Scientist have always wondered what the famous peacock feathers were used for. Recent studies have showed that there only use is for the attraction of there mates not for camouflage or any survival trait. Its a perfect example of what Darwin called natural selection. Roslyn Dakin of Queen’s University did a study were she cut of some of the eyes spots on the peacocks train in order to see if it affected the individuals ability to mate. With this test she found out having a allot of eye spots did not necessarily improve the peacocks chances of mating but having few eye spots on the train and your chances of mating were severely hindered. This is a hypothesis science because its based on the question of what the spots are for and then it was tested. These finding are not that beneficial for humans but its another mystery of the animals world that has been solve making us one step closer to understanding the fauna in our planets ecosystems. by Alberto Jimenez idk why it says pepito
