Snakes can hear more than you think uq_news PLOSONE
Dr. Christina Zdenek from UQ's School of Biological Sciences, in collaboration with QUT's Professor Damian Candusso, played three differentfrequencies to captive-bred snakes one at a time in a soundproof room and observed their reactions.
"But our research—the first of its kind using non-anesthetized, freely moving snakes—found they do react to soundwaves traveling through the air, and possibly human voices.""We played one sound which produced ground vibrations, while the other two were airborne only," Dr. Zdenek said. "The types of behavioral reactions also differed, with taipans in particular more likely to exhibit defensive and cautious responses to sound."
