Dice snakes found to use a variety of techniques to more effectively fake their own deaths
A pair of biologists at the University of Belgrade, in Serbia, has found that dice snakes use a variety of techniques to fool predators into believing they have died. In their paper published in the journal Biology Letters, Vukašin Bjelica and Ana Golubović, describe how they captured hundreds of the snakes using their hands to learn more about their death feigning (DF) abilities and what they learned by doing so.
