Caudal luring; flicking the tail around like this, is intriguing. It may be enticing to prey, but sometimes you hear it vibrating in dry leaves and it sounds like the rattle of a rattlesnake… this Bothrops alternatus is an unseen moment from #Deadly60 that never made it into the show! | Steve Backshall

Our Field's Horned Viper (Pseudocerastes fieldi) making use of caudal luring to bring prey within strike range. Notice how the tail tip looks different to the rest of the snake. It is used to mimic a worm so things like birds or lizards are lured in. Nature is just amazing and it is great to see this natural behaviour in captivity. | Reptile Garden

Check out a super-cool look at the caudal luring behavior demonstrated by baby copperheads. As we shared in a recent update from our Herpetology Team, our female copperhead gave birth to 14 babies last month! Baby copperheads have bright, sulfur-yellow tail tips that they use to attract prey such as frogs, insects, and small lizards. These bright tail tips will darken as they age, usually by the time they are a year or two old. #Ssspectacular #OnlyZooATL (video: Evan H.) | Zoo Atlanta

In this video, „Freebie“ shows perfectly the hunting behaviour of Australian Death Adders, called caudal luring. It is an instance of movement mimicry where the Adders attract their prey by moving their tail to mimic a small animal, such as a worm to attract hungry prey animals. When the prey gets close enough, the Adder will strike. Lure movement is essential to attract lizards, and small lures are more effective than larger ones; the greater effectiveness of small lures may explain why caudal

Behold this seemingly harmless green worm! It wiggles, beckoning you to come closer. Wait a minute — this is no worm! This is actually the tail-end of an Endangered Mangshan mountain pitviper. Did it fool you? Exhibiting a behavior called "caudal luring," Mangshan mountain pitvipers use their tails to mimic worms, in hopes of luring a meal. "This behavior in Mangshan vipers is not observed very frequently, being that the species was described to science only 30 years ago and the entire wild popu

Gator training with Bella, working on getting her used to my presence some more. She also shows a really cool example of caudal luring, although the camera just missed it! ~~~Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed. The state of Florida destroys 8,000 “nuisance” gators annually, but we don’t have a nuisance gators problem but rather a nuisance HUMAN problem. 1k people a day move to FL, unsustainably developing the land, and a lot of ignorant peopl
