Sandpipers have a number of adaptations that help them to avoid being eaten. These include:
- Their small size makes them difficult for predators to see.
- Their cryptic coloration helps them to blend in with their surroundings.
- Their ability to fly quickly and erratically makes them difficult for predators to catch.
- Their long bills and legs allow them to reach food that is out of reach of other animals.
Despite these adaptations, sandpipers are still preyed upon by a variety of other species. However, their abundance and widespread distribution allow them to survive in spite of this predation.
