The '''green peafowl''' or '''Indonesian peafowl''' (''Pavo muticus'') is a [[peafowl]] [[species]] native to the tropical forests of [[Southeast Asia]]. It has been listed as [[endangered]] on the [[IUCN Red List]] since 2009 because the global population has been declining rapidly and is severely fragmented due to loss of habitat.<ref name=iucn />It is the national bird of Myanmar.

==Description==
[[File:Pavo muticus3.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Adult female head and upper neck]]
[[File:Green Peafowl - Baluran NP - East Java (29181943654).jpg|thumb|Male profile]]

Unlike the related Indian peafowl, the sexes of green peafowl are quite similar in appearance, especially in the wild. Both sexes have long upper tail coverts which cover the actual tail underneath. In the male, this extends up to {{Convert|2|m|ft|abbr=on}} and is decorated with [[Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots]], while in the female, the coverts are green and much shorter, just covering the tail. Outside the breeding season, however, the male's train is moulted and distinguishing the sexes can be difficult unless they are observed up close. The neck and breast feathers of both sexes are iridescent green and resemble scales. In the male, the scapulars, median, and greater [[wing]] coverts are blue, while the lesser coverts are green and form a triangle of scaly feathers on the shoulder when the wing is closed. The secondaries are black and in some subspecies, the tertials are brown and/or barred with a faint pattern. The female has blue lesser coverts, so lacks the triangle at the wing shoulder. Females also have neck scales fringed with copper, as well as more barring on the back and the primaries and [[alula]]. Both sexes have shafted crests, and are long-legged, heavy-winged, and long-tailed in silhouette. The crest of the female has slightly wider plumes, while those of the male are thinner and taller. The facial skin is double striped with a white to light blue and beside the ear is a yellow to orange crescent. The dark triangle below the eye towards the eyebrow is bluish-green in the male and brown in the female. Seen from a distance, they are generally dark-coloured birds with pale [[vermilion|vermillion]]- or [[Buff (colour)|buff]]-coloured [[Flight feather#Primaries|primaries]], which are quite visible in their peculiar flight, which has been described as a true flapping flight with little gliding that one associates with galliform birds.

Green peafowl are generally more silent than Indian peafowl. The males of some subspecies, especially ''P. m. imperator'', have a loud call of ''ki-wao'', which is often repeated. The female has a loud ''aow-aa'' call with an emphasis on the first syllable. The male may also make a similar call. The males call from their roost sites at dawn and dusk.<ref name=birdlife/>

Green peafowl are large birds, amongst the largest living galliforms in terms of overall size, though rather lighter-bodied than the [[wild turkey]], and perhaps the longest extant, wild bird in total length. The male is {{convert|1.8|-|3|m|abbr=on}} in total length, but this includes its tail covert (or "train") which itself measures {{convert|1.4|-|1.6|m|abbr=on}}. The tail coverts are even longer than those of the male Indian peafowl, but are shorter than those of the [[argus (bird)|arguses]]. The adult female is around half the total length of the breeding male at {{convert|1|-|1.1|m|abbr=on}} in length. It has a relatively large wingspan that averages around {{convert|1.2|m|abbr=on}} and can reach {{convert|1.6|m|abbr=on}} in big males. The green peafowl is capable of sustained flight and is often observed on wing.<ref name=Biddle2002/>

==Distribution and habitat==
The green peafowl was widely distributed in [[Southeast Asia]] in the past from southern [[China]] especially Yunnan, eastern and north-eastern [[India]], northern [[Myanmar]], extending through [[Laos]], and [[Thailand]] into [[Vietnam]], [[Cambodia]], [[Peninsular Malaysia]], and the islands of [[Java]]. Records from northeastern India have been questioned and old records are possibly of feral birds.<ref name=pcr/> The ranges have reduced with [[habitat destruction]] and hunting.<ref name=birdlife/>

Green peafowl are found in a wide range of habitats, including [[Primary forest|primary]] and [[secondary forest]], both [[tropical]] and [[subtropical]], as well as [[Evergreen forest|evergreen]] and deciduous. They may also be found amongst [[bamboo]], on grasslands, [[savanna]]s, scrub, and farmland edge. In Vietnam, the preferred habitat was found to be dry, deciduous forest close to water and away from human disturbance.<ref name=Brickle2002/> Proximity to water appears to be an important factor.<ref name=viet/>

==Taxonomy==
[[File:Okyo Peacock and Peahen.jpg|thumb|1781 painting by [[Maruyama Okyo]]]]
The species was first classified as ''Pavo muticus'' by [[Carl Linnaeus]], although it was previously described in Europe by [[Ulisse Aldrovandi]] as "Pavo Iaponensis" based on a Japanese painting given to the pope by the emperor of [[Japan]]. These birds were depicted as having no spurs; Linnaeus followed Aldrovandi's description. The Japanese had imported green peafowl from Southeast Asia for hundreds of years, and the birds were frequently depicted in Japanese paintings. As a result, the [[type locality (biology)|type locality]] described by Linnaeus was "Habitat in [[Japan|Japonia]]", though the species is not native to Japan (they were kept by the emperor and no longer occur). [[François Levaillant]] was one of the first Western ornithologists to see a live bird, imported from [[Macau]] to an animal collection in [[Cape of Good Hope]]. From an Indian painting, [[George Shaw (biologist)|George Shaw]] described a peafowl native to India with a "blue head" and an "upright lanceolate crest", which he named ''Pavo spicifer'', the spike-crested peacock. A third form of green peafowl was described in 1949 by [[Jean Delacour]], as ''P. imperator'', found in Indochina. From the advice of a bird dealer in Hong Kong, Delacour concluded there were three [[Subspecies|races]] of green peafowl, lumping ''P. spicifer'' into the species, as well. Today, most authorities recognise these three:<ref name=zma/><ref name=Clements2007/><ref name=Dickinson2003/>

* ''Pavo muticus muticus'', the '''Java peafowl''' ([[Nominate subspecies|nominate]]). Extant population endemic to the east and western ends of Java, Indonesia. Extinct populations from the [[Malay Peninsula]] from the [[Kra Isthmus]] extending south to [[Kedah]] have also been described as being synonymous with the Javanese population, but no published studies have confirmed this assumption. Often described as the most colourful of the three subspecies, the neck and breast is a metallic golden-green with cerulean blue wing coverts. Females have prominent barring on the back and tertials.
* ''P. m. imperator'', the '''Indo-Chinese peafowl'''. From east Myanmar to Thailand, [[Yunnan]] province in China and [[Indochina]], this subspecies is the most common and has the widest distribution. In Thailand, it is currently confined to the [[Nan River|Nan]], [[Yom River|Yom]], [[Eng River|Eng]] and [[Ping River|Ping]] river basins in northern Thailand and the [[Huai Kha Khaeng]] and [[Mae Klong]] basins in western Thailand. In Vietnam, it has become extinct in the northern part of the country, its last large population being confined to the southeast in [[Yok Đôn National Park|Yok Đôn]] and [[Cát Tiên National Park]]. ''imperator'' is intermediate in colouration between the other two forms.
* ''P. m. spicifer'', the '''Burmese peafowl'''. Found in Myanmar towards southwestern Thailand. Formerly also in Bangladesh as well as northern Malaysia. Birds in Northeast India are sometimes considered extinct but are still occasionally sighted. However, sightings have sometimes been questioned as feral or escaped birds. Delacour considered the west and east sides of the [[Irrawaddy River|Irrawaddy river]] to be the dividing line between ''spicifer'' and ''imperator'' respectively. A population of ''spicifer'' was reintroduced to [[Hlawga National Park]] east of the Irrawaddy river. Sometimes described as "duller" than the other forms, it has a matte gun metal-blue to olive-green neck and breast, and more black on the wing-coverts and outer web of secondaries. The crown of the male is violet-blue which often extends further down the nape than other subspecies, demarcating the colours of the crown and neck.

Delacour dismissed several aberrant specimens to be individual variations (including the [[type specimen]]s for ''imperator'' originating from the [[Bolaven Plateau]] in Laos), and stated more subspecies may be recognised with further studies. However, few studies have been conducted to substantiate Delacour's classification, even though it is accepted by nearly all authorities. Some authors have suggested that the population found in Yunnan, which are traditionally classified as ''imperator'', may be another race.<ref name=Madge2002/> Using the [[cytochrome b]] [[mitochondrial DNA]] gene, Ouyang et al. estimated the divergence period between green and Indian peafowl to be 3 million years. In the same study, they also noted there appeared to be two different forms of green peafowl in Yunnan which should be classified as distinct subspecies.<ref name=Ouyang2008/> A 2005 article from ''[[The Star (Malaysia)|The Star]]'' newspaper of Malaysia stated that research indicated the Malaysian form to be identical to the Javanese form, but the study was not published and some authors dispute the result. Due to the large range of ''imperator'' in Indochina, other subspecies within its range have also been proposed, notably ''annamensis'' of Southeast Asia and ''yunnanensis'' of [[Yunnan]].<ref name="lastchance">{{cite web|url=http://www.aviculture-europe.nl/nummers/06E02A10.pdf|title=The Last Chance for the Green Peafowl (''Pavo muticus'')?|last=Mennig|first=Wolfgang|publisher=WPA Germany|access-date=23 March 2012}}</ref>

==Behaviour and ecology==
[[File:Peacocks 777.jpg|thumb|Female (peahen) with one chick]]
[[File:Merak tarung.jpg|thumb|Fighting peacocks in [[Baluran National Park]], Indonesia]]
The green peafowl is a forest bird which nests on the ground laying 3 to 6 eggs.<ref name=Grimmett1999/>

It has been widely believed that the green peafowl is [[polygynous]], but unlike the Indian peafowl, males are solitary and do not display in [[lek (biology)|lek]]s. Instead the solitary males are highly territorial and form [[harem (zoology)|harem]]s with no [[pair bond]]s.

However, the theory that the male is polygymous also conflicts with observations in captivity; pairs left alone with no human interaction have been observed to be strongly [[monogamous]]. The close similarity between both sexes also suggests a different breeding system in contrast to that of the Indian peafowl. Thus, some authors have suggested that the harems seen in the field are juvenile birds and that males are not promiscuous.<ref name=birdlife/>

They usually spend time on or near the ground in tall grasses and sedges. Family units roost in trees at a height of {{Convert|10|-|15|m|ft|abbr=on}}.<ref name=birdlife/> The diet consists mainly of [[fruit]]s, [[invertebrates]], [[reptile]]s, [[frog]]s and [[rodent]]s. As with the other member of its genus, the green peafowl can even hunt venomous [[snake]]s. Ticks and termites, flower petals, buds, leaves and berries are favorite foods of the adult peafowl.

[[File:Pavomuticus.jpg|thumb|upright|Painting by [[Daniel Giraud Elliot]].]]

==Status==
Due to hunting and a reduction in extent and quality of habitat, as well as poaching, the green peafowl is evaluated as [[endangered species|endangered]] on the [[IUCN Red List of Threatened Species]]. It is listed on Appendix II of [[CITES]]. The world population has declined rapidly and the species no longer occurs in many areas of its past distribution. The last strongholds for the species are in protected areas such as [[Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary]] in Thailand, [[Cat Tien National Park]] in Vietnam and [[Baluran National Park]], [[Ujung Kulon National Park]] in Java, Indonesia. The population in the wild was estimated to be about 5,000 to 10,000 individuals around 1995.<ref name=birdlife/> In Cambodia, [[Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary]] was shown to hold a significant and increasing population of around 745 individuals in 2020.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Nuttall|first1=Matthew N.|last2=Griffin|first2=Olly|last3=Fewster|first3=Rachel M.|last4=McGowan|first4=Philip J.

Although there is no natural range overlap with the Indian peafowl, hybridisation is still a threat where the Indian peafowl is introduced as they produce fertile hybrids. In captivity hybrids are called "Spalding" peafowl and are used by breeders to create different breeds. Through backcrossing some hybrids become almost indistinguishable from pure green peafowl.<ref name=Hybrid/> As the species as a whole is sometimes called "Java peafowl" in aviculture, the subspecies of green peafowl are also mixed in captivity and there are many captive birds of unknown provenance. In some areas of their native range, captive green peafowl have sometimes been released in the vicinity of a breeding station even though their true origins remain unknown.

In 2005, ''[[The Star (Malaysia)|The Star]]'' reported that successful reintroductions were being made in Malaysia by the World Pheasant Association (WPA).<ref name=Star2005/> The article stated that the genetic research proved the Javan and Malay peafowl were genetically identical and the subspecies ''muticus'' was introduced - the scientific community consensus. However, the assumption that the Malaysian and Javanese ''muticus'' birds are the same subspecies remains controversial, so it is uncertain which subspecies was introduced.<ref name=lastchance/> Since the 2005 article, there has been no update on the status of the reintroduction.

==Cultural significance==
[[File:WikiProject Myanmar peacock.svg|thumb|The green peacock was a royal symbol of Burma's monarchs]]
The green peafowl is often depicted in Japanese paintings from the [[Edo period]], notably by [[Maruyama Ōkyo]] and [[Nagasawa Rosetsu]].

''[[The Peacock Room]]'', a room installation painted between 1876–77 by [[James McNeill Whistler]] now located in the [[Freer Gallery of Art]] in Washington, D.C., prominently features paintings of green peafowl.

Although the Burmese or [[grey peacock-pheasant]] is the national bird of Myanmar, the green peafowl was an ancient symbol of the monarchs of Burma.<ref name=crwflags/> It was also shown during British colonial times on the flag of the governor and the naval ensign, as well as on the flag of the [[State of Burma]] from 1943–1945 and on the currency of independent Burma as well.

The '''Asian elephant''' (''Elephas maximus orientalis'') is the elephant species living in Asia. They are more easily tamed than larger [[Africa]]n elephants. People have used them as working animals for hundreds of years. It is mostly found in parts of [[India]] and nearby countries.

== Description ==
Asian elephants are different from African elephants. They are smaller, have smaller [[ear]]s, a more rounded back, and a fourth toenail on each of their back feet. They have thick, dry skin with a small amount of stiff hair, and are grey to brown in colour. Female Asian elephants have small [[tusk]]s and occasionally none at all. Sometimes pink spots appear on the ears as a result of loss of [[pigment]].

Asian elephants eat [[grass]], [[hay]], twigs, [[bark]] and fruits. It can live up to 60 to 80 years. It can weigh up to 5000kg and be up to 300cm tall. It takes up to 660 days or 22 months until the babies are born. <ref>Hannover Zoo: [http://www.zoo-hannover.de/explore-the-zoo/animals-a-z/asian-elephant.html?L=1#steckbrief Asian Elephant]{{Dead link|date=January 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, viewed 2012-12-06</ref>

== Distribution ==
Asian elephants live across many parts of [[India]] and [[Sri Lanka]]. They also live as far east as [[Sumatra]], [[Indonesia]]. These three areas have [[subspecies]] that are slightly different.

== Habitat ==
Asian elephants are spread over areas with very different amounts of rain. They can survive in dry places where less than 40cm of rain falls per year and in wet areas where over 8 meters of rain falls in a year.

== Culture ==
In the [[Burmese zodiac#Weekdays|Burmese, Thai and Sinhalese animal and planetary zodiac]], the Asian elephant, both tusked and tuskless, are the fourth and fifth animal zodiacs of the [[Myanmar|Burmese]], the fourth animal zodiac of the [[Thai people|Thai]], and the second animal zodiac of the [[Sinhalese people]] of Sri Lanka.<ref>Upham, E.
