Eastern Yellow Robin

(a species of Australian robins)

Eastern Golden Whistler (female)

Did you know, that ...
Sexual dimorphism is when males and females of the same species differ in color or size. Usually, males are brighter and more coloured to attract females during the mating season. It's very common in the wild.

But The Eastern Yellow Robin shows very little sexual dimorphism. This is because both sexes share similar roles in caring for their young and need to remain well camouflaged in their forest environment.
