The self-anointed chemical mimicking

Young Komodo monitors, Varanus komodoensis, roll themselves in the feces of prey animals. This may protect them from predation by larger conspecifics, as these avoid gut contents of their prey by shaking them out before eating the prey (Auffenberg, 1981 Ciofi, 1999). [Pg.376]

Among the canids, dogs, wolves, coyotes, and foxes roll in dung and carcasses and other materials such as scent glands of rattlesnakes (Weldon and Fagre, 1989). [Pg.376]
