Male peacocks have elaborate tail feathers, known as a train, to attract female mates. The vibrant colors and eye-catching patterns of the tail feathers are a result of sexual selection, where females prefer males with more impressive displays. This preference drives the evolution of increasingly elaborate and colorful tails. The size and pattern of the feathers signal the male’s health and genetic fitness to potential mates.
