아르팍아스트라피아는 서뉴기니 아르팍 산맥에 서식하는 장관적인 극락조로, 몸무게 약 190g, 날개폭 약 36cm입니다. 수컷은 정교한 구애 과시에 사용되는 극히 긴 꼬리와 함께 빛나는 검은색과 녹색 깃털로 치장되어 있습니다. 과일과 절지동물을 먹는 산악 숲의 중층부에 서식합니다.
Wilson's bird-of-paradise is one of the most extraordinarily colored birds on Earth. Males meticulously clear a patch of forest floor as a display court, removing every leaf and twig. The species was virtually unknown to science until the late 20th century due to its restricted island range.
