Desert kangaroo rats ninja-kick attacking rattlesnakes

High-speed cameras reveal desert kangaroo rats’ lightning-fast defensive moves.

A desert in the southwestern United States may be the lair of secret ninja masters. You know them as desert kangaroo rats. But a pair of new studies finds that these rodents can bust out complex moves to avoid deadly rattlesnake bites.

Clashes between these rodents and rattlers happen at lightning speed. Researchers weren’t sure how the rats dodged death. Now, high-speed cameras offer the first detailed look at their tricks. The findings were published online March 27 in the journals Functional Ecology and the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society.

Scientists knew that keen hearing and foot tapping help desert kangaroo rats keep predators away. But those tactics don’t always work, notes Rulon Clark. He’s a behavioral ecologist at San Diego State University in California.

Clark and his team had seen snakes ambush rats in the wild. They watched as many rodents jumped and darted away unharmed. To get a closer look, the scientists trekked into the Sonoran Desert in Yuma, Ariz. They lugged along high-speed cameras. Using them, the researchers caught 32 brawls between desert kangaroo rats (Dipodomys deserti) and sidewinder rattlesnakes (Crotalus cerastes). The footage revealed the rats’ defensive moves.

Rats twisted their bodies in midair to dodge the lunging rattlesnakes’ fangs. Even when snakes landed a bite, some rats kicked off their foes. Just in time, too. Snakes couldn’t always bite long enough for the rats to get a deadly dose of venom.

The kicking was one of the biggest surprises. “We didn’t expect it would be so effective,” says Grace Freymiller. She is also a behavioral ecologist at San Diego State University.

After dodging rattlesnakes’ fangs, the rodents used their tails to shift their bodies. They landed on their feet and quickly retreated.
