105K views · 898 reactions | 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 | Facebook

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

This Dajarra Death Adder is caudal luring looking for a meal. So awesome to see this behaviour. The tail looks like a tasty worm luring the prey within strike range. I keep plenty adders and vipers but nothing is as fast as a Death Adder. | Reptile Garden
