The Wonderful and Hilarious Mating Dance of the Hooded Grebe, Caught on Camera

In this rare and funny footage from Michael and Paula Webster’s Tango in the Wild, we can see two hooded grebes. The hooded grebes is a critically endangered bird species in Santa Cruz, Argentina. These birds are usually found in isolated and few basaltic lakes in the country.

What’s interesting about these animals is their breeding habits. During the season, they flock to basaltic lakes in Argentina. These species require this kind of habitat because of the aquatic vegetation. Also, the invertebrates that they feed on life in these areas. 

But let me just say, their mating dance involves a lot of head whipping, huh!
