Why it matters
The Ribbon-tailed Astrapia, discovered in the New Guinea highlands in the late 1930s, is celebrated for having the longest tail feathers of any bird relative to its body size. These exceptionally long, white ribbon-like plumes are a result of intense sexual selection, making the species a subject of great interest in evolutionary biology.
