Detailed explanation-1: -Courtship displays are a series of ritualized visual behaviors (signals) designed to attract and convince a member of the opposite sex to mate. These displays are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pairs may show courtship behaviors such as grooming each other, playing and wrestling, chasing each other or bumping and hip pushing each other. They will also sniff and lick each other, and a female may even position herself in front of her partner to tell him she’s ready.
Detailed explanation-3: -Auditory courtship displays are common across many types of animal, including birds (song), frogs (vocalisation), monkeys (calls), whales (song) and crocodiles (bellowing). Many species employ visual and auditory cues as part of their elaborate courtship displays.
Detailed explanation-4: -Performing a display allows the male to present his traits or abilities to a female. Mate choice, in this context, is driven by females; direct or indirect benefits to the female often determine which males reproduce and which do not. Direct benefits may accrue to the female during male courtship displays.
