    I’m not sure if you’re saying that in humans ‘females are pretty and males are strong’ and asking if animals are different than this, or if you’re saying that in humans females can be strong and males pretty and asking why that is compared to animals. Could you clarify the question for me?

    I mean why are females pretty and males strong in the human species, while in most of the other animals in the animal kingdom, except I think for mammals, the female is strong and the male s decorative (example peacock).

    ooh, questions on sexual dimorphism (the technical name for differences between males and females), great question toadslayer.
