Posted by: FRoberts at Thu May 24 12:08:29 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by FRoberts ] I remember reading that certain patterns in snakes cause a blurring effect to predators as the snake uses undulating movement during flight behavior. This mixed with the iridescent scales could very well cause what I think is termed "disruptive coloration". When the snake moves quickly, the pattern and colors of the snake actually create a blurred image to the predator, thus temporarily confusing the predator, and this gives the snake time to disappears into the environment as quickly as it was noticed. | ||
