Woman On Top Of Her Game
Manoj Bind, Woman on top of her game. A female Greater Painted Snipe Rostratula benghalensis flashes her brilliantly patterned wings to attract a male. In a gender role reversal, the Greater Painted Snipe female is not only more brightly coloured than the male Painted Snipe, but is also larger in size, polyandrous, and the dominant partner in the courtship. Once the egg-laying is over, the male takes over incubating and chick-rearing duties while the female finds more males to mate with! Location: Amravati, Maharashtra
