Coleonyx brevis emits a squeak in order to signal territory or breeding. During foraging and feeding, C. brevis relies on visual cues, which can be reinforced by chemical cues before an attack occurs. This strategy is imortant because it prevents the attack of harmful organisms and also helps in finding more prey in a short foraging time.
