@cstross @mjd @gregeganSF - Egan's original post says that the rakalis "figured out" something, and that may be true. Birds and mammals have culture, where behaviors are passed from one individual to another by learning. But the garter snakes probably didn't "learn to" do what they're doing. It's almost as quick to say "evolved to", and that's probably what happened.
