BORNEO JUNGLE NEAR DANCING-PLACE OF ARGUS PHEASANT 

 HEAD AND EGG OF BORNEAN ARGUS PHEASANT 



The dense Bornean jungle consists of tall, high-branching trees with thick undergrowth beneath. Unless 

 an opening is made by a wind break, or a glade cut by natives for planting, the jungle is unbroken, and 

 there is no way of locating these pheasants except by the direction of their voices. 



The males are given an alert appearance by the upright, stiffened crest arising from the top of the head. 

 While they take such risks to summon their mates and to display before them, the hens later go off by 

 themselves, choose a nesting site, and lay and brood their two white eggs in solitude.
