Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Throughout the animal kingdom, horns are used as a sure-fire way to impress potential mates. Case in point: the rhinoceros auklet. This bird is named for the horn-like appendage (known as a rhamphotheca) that grows from the beak of breeding males and females. The size of the horn, and the ultaviolet patterns covering its surface, is thought to influence mate choice.
