crouch

I quite know what is the meaning if "crouch", as a style, and "crouch down" as a verb for posing in a style, but in the pictures related to animals, I am a bit confused. When they normally stand on their feet "crouch down" or "in a crouch" is used to describe their position.

e.g. Heron in a crouch
