In my observation these canes travel in packs of eight or 12 respectively and seem to form a straight line facing forward in some sort of mating formation with the act of copulation not actually being seen and presumably done at night.

The above predator mentioned in this thread seems to attack a whole group of these canes and leaves them in various stages of destruction and it is obvious that some will never recover.

So my conclusion is that these canes must hold a special attractiveness to it's predator whether it be color or taste. Hopefully in further studies, a solution can be found to save these beautiful canes.
