“…Snakes represent meaningful predatory threats, especially to pups (Coss 1991a;Fitch 1949;Owings and Coss 2008;Poran and Coss 1990). Tail flagging occurs almost exclusively after ground squirrels have detected snakes (Hennessy et al 1981).…”

“…For the ground squirrels that have been studied, the first expression of antisnake behavior has been recorded in preemergent pups (Coss 1991a), even during an encounter with a devenomated rattlesnake in an artificial burrow (1998 BBC film: Squirrels Under Siege, Bernard Walton, producer). Using a tethered rattlesnake, we have photographed antisnake behavior the first day pups emerge from natal burrows and adults cautiously sniffing burrow entrances after having seen a rattlesnake (Coss and Owings 1989, p. 34;Poran and Coss 1990, p. 225).…”

“…Because venomous, non-venomous and non-predatory snakes of various sizes are common in their environment [16,34], such information would be useful in mounting a response appropriate to the nature of the threat. This information may be especially important for pups that are just learning to recognize snake predators [35].…”
