This jazz hands display is a test of endurance for the male. If he passes it, he succeeds.
This male turtle is fluttering his claws at the face of the female to attract her for mating.
Underwater, visual cues don't work perfectly. When a male flutters at a specific frequency, the female can identify that he is of her exact species.
One hypothesis --> by fluttering, the male pushes her pheromones toward her nasal cavities, stimulating her for mating.
This fluttering is not used exclusively for attracting mates --> also used to establish territory and dominance.
When mating, if the female is impressed, she signals receptiveness. Otherwise, she walks off or sometimes delivers an aggressively bone-crushing bite to the male.
However, as males grow larger and heavier, they often resort to coercive mating instead of the foreclaw dance. They employ aggressive biting, submergence, or striking rather than courtship.
They are not pretending to be dead--> it's an automatic survival response.
When prey spots a predator nearby, it has 2 basic strategies: fight (aggressive posturing) or flight (run away). However, when the predator is too close and ready to strike, neither strategy works.
This is when the ultimate survival strategy kicks in --> thanatosis or death feigning.
Most predators, like snakes, are attuned to movement and panic in prey. The moment prey panics, the predator's attack reflex gets triggered.
When prey enters a state where it appears unconscious or dead, the predator's attack reflex is generally not activated.
Many predators also prefer live prey, and a motionless body often discourages them --> partly out of instinct, partly out of avoidance of harmful bacteria or parasites in dead animals.
This is not faking. It happens automatically. It is an evolutionary survival strategy found in many reptiles, mammals, birds, and insects.
When prey senses a predator, a surge of stress hormones ultimately causes bradycardia (reduced heart rate) and bradypnea (reduced respiration). The muscles enter a state of paralysis.
Yet the prey remains alert throughout, tracking the predator's movements, and snaps back to an active state the moment the predator moves away.
Thanatosis is a high-stakes, last-resort survival mechanism --> evolution's final card in the natural world.
