00:00 A new study has come to the conclusion that female animals learn from other female animals
00:05 to prefer a distinctive type of male as a mate.
00:08 Science Alert confirms it is much more costly for a female to mate with a poor-quality male
00:14 than vice versa.
00:16 The mere genetic design and gender-based mating habits prove males compete for access to females.
00:22 Basically, in the animal kingdom, there are very choosy females with a plethora of male
00:28 options, with unique sexually influenced designs.
00:31 The new study from Florida State University in the U.S. explains via a mathematical model
00:37 that it's not just about looks.
00:39 Yes, males with the largest pads or flangas are most appealing to female orangutans, but
00:45 it's also the most pungent-smelling male ring-tailed lemurs that attract the most females.
00:52 Song and dance moves, eye span, and watching what other, more experienced females choose
00:58 are also factors at play.
01:00 When experienced females choose a more unique trait male, this causes the rare trait to
01:05 become more common and subsequently less attractive.
