Great Argus

Argusianus argus

The Great Argus is a huge pheasant named after the 100-eyed giant Argus in Greek mythology because of its many-"eyed" plumage. It lives in the forests of Indonesia, Malaya and Borneo.
Most of the size is the length of the wings and tail which are raised in a stunning courtship display and dance.		Size comparison with two Collared Doves
Only the blue-headed male (shown) is so large and intricately-patterned. The hen, as with most pheasants, is smaller, less showy, better camouflaged and shy.
