Why it matters
The Malayan peacock-pheasant is prized by naturalists for its iridescent plumage, which features ocelli—or eye-spots—that appear to shimmer when the bird displays its rounded wings and fanned tail. As a shy forest-dwelling species native to the Malay Peninsula, it serves as an important indicator of the health of lowland rainforest ecosystems.
