Playing dead is a survival instinct of animals. When encountering natural enemies or dangers that they can't resist, many animals will take the way of playing dead to temporarily paralyze the enemy, so as to take the opportunity to escape. The same is true of loaches, which also play dead. When they encounter more ferocious enemies that can not be easily dealt with, they may paralyze and confuse each other by playing dead, so as to achieve the goal of survival. In addition, loach can effectively reduce oxygen consumption when playing dead, which can also increase the probability of survival. Sometimes loaches raised in fish tanks will play dead, when they usually float above the water.
