Topic: Slow-worm behaviour
I found a slow worm on the Cornish cliffs a few days ago. When I got near to it it froze for a few seconds before slowly curling its tail. Then it did something really cool; it began to crawl backwards (tail first) giving the impression that the tail was the head. I assume that this is a behaviour to distract predators from the animal's actual head. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? |
