It's the case of the pecock's tail or od the stag's antlers. But selection sometimes goes astray, and I think that man's brain might be another example (Gregory Bateson).
Peacocks are strange, there bigger tails make them easier to be caught by predators and to grow such a large tail put a strain on their immune system because they have to grow it.
Can’t peacocks find a better way to attract a mate and display its health; it is very confusing
Big jugs make it harder to run away from predators. :p They also give you a sore back at times.
