The first animal is the Red Capped Manakin Bird. The bird is very tiny, and it lives in "Central and South America". Only the males perform the "Michael Jackson Moonwalk" similar dance in order to find a mate. It is an awe inspiring show!

The third animal is the common parrot. Apparently, scientists have found that parrots have the ability to distinguish "rhythm." It is used for a variety of reasons, and it can be trained to a pet parrot. I think it probably has something to do with their beautiful singing voices!
The fourth animal is the Honey Bee. The Honey Bee does not use its dance moves to mate; instead the honey bee has a "waggle dance," which is used to indicate when they find pollen. It is important for honey bees to have this dance, so that they can continue to communicate where to find pollen.
The last animal is the Bird of Paradise. There are "39 different species" of the Birds of Paradise, and they all perform the mating dance of "hopping." The hopping dance illustrates these birds agile ability and smooth moves!
All of these animals have one thing in common: they love to dance! They dance for different reasons; mating, communication, and even just for the day to day entertainment. It is important to study animals and their behaviors because it sheds light on our own human characteristics. At events, men and women dance to impress each other and sometimes even to attract a possible mate. Just like these animals humans use dance as a means to communicate what they want someone to know about them. I very much enjoyed this article because the study of animals and their behaviors interests me. Dancing is apparently a multiple species form of fun.
