At least two examples of animals with hypnotic powers are known. First, some cuttlefish manage to fascinate their prey with the rapid changes in color patterns on their bodies. Faced with this demonstration, the victims are stunned, completely immobile.
The other charmer of the animal kingdom is the ermine , which performs dizzying dances in front of rabbits. The hypnotic effects of its dance allow the predator to easily swoop down on its prey.
In reality, many animals are susceptible to falling into a cataleptic state . Often it is enough to lay them on their backs or force them into positions they are not used to. In the case of chickens, it is achieved simply by lowering their heads.
