このコンテンツについて

In this sizzling Brain Bamboozle, we explore how California ground squirrels fool rattlesnakes by heating and waving their tails—sending an infrared warning that toggles snake behavior from hunting to defense. Featuring lab experiments with “robosquirrels,” this tale highlights a staggering first in animal signaling: using IR visible only to pit vipers as evolutionary armament.

Reality check:

California ground squirrels do heat and wave their tails to deter rattlesnakes, making their tails more visible in the infrared spectrum. This behavior is a rare and fascinating example of infrared signaling in the animal kingdom, and it has been studied using robotic squirrels. The effect is to reduce the likelihood of a snake attack, not to strictly “toggle” the snake’s behavior.
