Description
great argus pheasant (Argusianus argus)

Nederlands: Repronegatief. De argusfazant kwam op vele plaatsen in Borneo voor. De vogel was over het algemeen te vinden in droge bossen op vlakke terreinen, heuvels en bergen. Hier trof men zijn schoongemaakte dansplaatsen aan. De dieren zijn zeer schuw. Desondanks zagen de Dajaks kans ze te vangen in hun strikken, zowel voor hun vlees als voor hun fraaie staartveren die gebruikt werden voor hun ceremoniƫle tooi. De veren werden zelfs uitgevoerd naar Singapore vanuit Pontianak in Borneo's Westerafdeling. De argusfazant was in de jaren dertig nog vrij algemeen in de bossen te vinden. (P. Boomgaard, 2001).
