100 Mind-Blowing Males Facts
Females are better at distinguishing colours, while males excel at tracking fast-moving objects and discerning details from a distance.
The word “peacock” does not apply to both male and female birds. It’s only the males that are called peacocks, while the females are called peahens. Together, the collective name for them is “peafowl.”

Turkeys can blush. When turkeys are scared or excited—like when the males see a female they’re interested in—the pale skin on their head and neck turns bright red, blue, or white. The flap of skin over their beaks called a snood, also reddens. By the way, this is why the president pardons a turkey every Thanksgiving.

Male reindeer have louder calls than females. Males use a small pouch under the skin of their throats which they inflate to blast out a loud bellow.

A female chicken will mate with many different males. If she decides later that she doesn’t want a particular rooster’s offspring, she can eject his sperm. This happens most often when the male is lower in the pecking order.
Platypuses are so weird that when scientists first discovered them, they thought it was a hoax. Platypuses have been well-known for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians, but when British scholars first encountered them, they were extremely puzzled. The confusion came down to the fact that while being mammals, these bizarre creatures lay eggs, have a duckbill, a beaver’s tail, feet like an otter’s, and the males are even venomous!
