[00:00:00]That peacock isn't just showing off its tail. It's producing a [music] sound you can't hear, and the female is feeling it through her entire body right now. When a peacock opens its tail and starts shaking it, something invisible happens.

[00:00:12]The feathers vibrate at a frequency below what humans can detect, infrasound. The same type of sound [music] elephants use to communicate across kilometers. The female doesn't hear it through her ears. She feels it through her feet, her chest, her entire body. And the bigger and denser the tail, the more powerful vibration.

[00:00:31][music] So, while everyone watching is focused on the colors, the real performance is completely invisible.

[00:00:37]That tail isn't [music] a visual display. It's an instrument, and the female standing in front of it isn't watching. She's listening with her whole body.
