Footage of a California ground squirrel interactiong with a Northern Pacific rattlesnake taken during our field season this summer. One of our snakes, aptly named "Death Star", positioned itself near a pup burrow and an adult squirrel did not like that one bit. This squirrel approaches Death Star as he is moving and tail-flags, pushes loose substrate toward him, and starts alarm calling further into the recording. Although we have not yet quantified the behaviors of this interaction, I wanted to present people with the types of videos we record to analyze animal communication.
I am a PhD student at San Diego State University and UC Davis. I study predator-prey interactions between rattlesnakes and small mammals. My lab is looking at the function of prey signals by quantifying predator behaviors. Visit http://rockethub.com/projects/3804-sq...
