Making an immensely strange disclosure, it has been revealed that a scientist in New Zealand is shelling out thousands of dollars on one of his most ambitious study in lieu of Zebrafish. The sole aim behind the study is to figure out the reason why some females are generally, easily and more attracted towards older males.

It is expected that the outcomes of his study may well hold good in revealing the reason why Catherine Zeta Jones had fallen in love with Michael Douglas regardless of having 25 years of age gap. It can explain the reason behind the famous attraction between Monaco's Prince Albert II and his new spouse who is said to be around 20 years younger than him and it may even explain how Tom Cruise trapped Katie Holmes when he is around 16 years elder than her.

In this regard, Dr. Sheri Johnson, a research fellow from New Zealand's Otago University, is involving a $345,000 (£220,000) funding towards figuring out the same, by making use of around 700 zebrafish.

Since a real long time, a large number of people have advocated the existence of a female inclination towards older males, which more often than not tries to go against the common evolution as elder men have a reduction in sperm functionality and the odds of a birth imperfection also tends to increases with age.

Zebrafish have been chosen since they easily tend to fertilize their eggs outwardly, thereby making the procedure much easier for mimicry, as per the scientist. While expressing her views regarding the entire issue, researcher Dr. Johnson said that it looks as if a relatively evident attraction is there and it even makes a clear, precise and evolutionary significance in terms of protection and safety.
