In the complex world of sexual selection unique behaviours, elaborate courtship displays and special adaptations all help determine who picks whom, who mates with whom and who produces the offspring that carry genes into the next generation. In the animal world it’s females that decide. But their decisions may not always be what others expect. What are females looking for? A special sound or smell? A flashy display? A beautiful mane? A booming voice? A touch of red? Babysitting skills? Females, it seems are nothing if not demanding. Scientists around the world are making amazing new discoveries about the complexities of courtship throughout the animal kingdom. Employing cutting-edge technology, robotics, chemical analysis and special cameras, What Females Want is sexual education that goes way beyond the birds and the bees.
