Dimorphic Species

Dimorphic species are organisms that can exist in two distinct forms, which may differ in appearance, physiology, or behavior. These differences often relate to different sexes, such as male and female, but can also involve other traits like size, coloration, or reproductive structures. This variation allows the species to adapt to different environmental conditions or reproductive roles. An example is the male and female of certain animals, like the peacock and peahen, where males are more colorful to attract mates, while females are more camouflaged to protect offspring.
