Season 41
Episode 10
About the Episode
Male and female white-necked jacobins vastly differ in color, making females a target for constant harassment. But one out of every five females keeps their “male” costume, holding onto their bright blue coloring. This “deceptive coloration” lets her slip through the crowd of rowdy males unnoticed.
