One of the most fascinating things about ruffs are that there are three different types of males. These birds have developed three different types of mating strategies.
There are independent males, which are the largest and most aggressive. Their mating strategy is to fight other males to mate.
Then, there are satelite males, who are juvenile in appearance and are less threatening. They mate while the independent male is distracted.
The most interesting one is the faeder male. They completely mimic the female in appearance. It is an excellent mating strategy because the other males never attack them, and sometimes even mistakenly "mate" with the faeder males while the faeder copulates with the real female.
To sum it all up, if humans were like ruffs, there would literally be three different types of males being born. There would be masculine chads, traps, and basically girls (male) with penises.
