Bigger doesn't mean bolder: Antipredator behavior in animals of different size

Like humans, different animals may behave differently. According to the pace-of-life hypothesis, animals of smaller body sizes generally have shorter life spans and begin reproduction at earlier ages compared to larger species. Since they are required to reproduce within relatively fast-paced life histories, smaller species may exhibit riskier behavior in order to quickly secure sufficient food resources. This study examined four wild rodent species in Taiwan and their behavioral response to predator (leopard cat) cues, and it was found that the two rodents of smaller size invested less time in avoidance behavior, while the larger species were relatively cautious. These findings correspond to the pace-of-life hypothesis, suggesting that larger animals are not necessarily bolder.
