The satin-colored tragopan, also known as the crimson horned pheasant, is a type of pheasant found in the lush woodlands of the Indian, Tibetan, Nepalese, and Bhutanese regions within the Himalayas. These birds typically inhabit moist forests with an abundance of oak and rhododendron trees, as well as dense undergrowth and clusters of bamboo. They are commonly found at altitudes of 2400 to 4200 meters during the summer and 1800 meters during the winter season. The male tragopan can reach a total length of approximately 70 cm.

During the breeding season, male satyr tragopans develop blue horns and a gular wattle. When they are ready to court a mate, they will expand their horns and conceal themselves behind a rock, patiently waiting for potential females to appear. Once a female appears, they will engage in an intricate display to impress her. At the end of the display, the male will stand tall and proudly exhibit all of his ornamental features. In contrast, females have a brown coloration while males typically have a red base with blue, black, and white markings.
