This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live.

If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here.

Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.

Article body[edit]

The rattling sound of snakes is imitated by burrowing owls to defend against mammalian predators and is recognized by California ground squirrels as dangerous causing them to flee.^[1]

Rattle snakes prefer sinuosity in migration even in human-dominated environments because it leads to a higher chance of survival and better body condition throughout and after migration^[2]
