Cane toad tadpoles (Rhinella marina) form aggregations in shallow water while feeding. To investigate their social feeding preferences, this study sampled tadpoles from a human-made pond on the property of Estación Biológica Monteverde. These tadpoles were given choices of feeding alone or in a group, and feeding with different group sizes. Individual tadpoles were placed in an aquarium with a built-in choice chamber, with a starting chamber that had two pathways that lead to the two different options. Overall, the tadpoles spent a greater amount of time remaining in the start of the aquarium than by the given options. These preferences of the tadpoles suggest that they prioritize their own safety over the option of exploration of a new sit...
