US EditionA grassland bird eavesdrops on prairie dog calls to keep itself safe from predators
- Curlews eavesdrop on prairie dog alarm calls to protect themselves from predators, according to research published in the journal Animal Behavior.
- When prairie dogs sound alarms, curlews crouch down, using their feather camouflage to become nearly invisible, according to Dreelin.
- Curlews quickly hide when they hear barking prairie dogs, retreating when a badger is about 160 feet away.
- Co-Author Holly Jones states that early crouching significantly increases the birds' chances of avoiding predation.
