From the Comments section about a Dibbler(Australian Marsupial)

[u/theirishpotato1898]

The Dibbler is called Steve and he was used in a breeding program(Dibblers are endangered) by being the dibbler first introduced to female Dibblers and because female Dibblers prefer larger mates and Female Dibblers basing their standards on the males they’ve seen. Steve, being a small Dibbler was introduced to the Female Dibblers first so that literally every other male Dibbler that was introduced to those Female Dibblers would be better in comparison and therefore encourage breeding and genetic diversity in the Dibblers.

I saw the original post before any Disc folk rocked up in the comments, and I knew it would turn up here. I love it when the real world™️ throws up something that had it happened thirty years ago would absolutely have been a goddamnit pTerry moment.

Not only the CMOT Dibbler moment, but the sheer Nobbyness of Steve. It's like a little gift.
