Meet the peacock

Last week’s Wild Notebook feature took a closer look at the peacock’s famous display. Watch the peacock video, then try these prompts for a second look.

Look closer

Watch the bird’s display from different angles. Pay attention to the outline of the fan, the repeated patterns, and how the colors look as the bird moves.

Pause on a close-up, then return to a wider view. Which details stand out at each distance? Pick one pattern you did not notice on your first watch.

This peacock feature stays here even after a new animal takes the homepage spotlight.
