What is Mimicry?
Practice Version
Mimicry:
An adaptation where an animal protects itself by looking like another animal. Mimicry. It is when one species resembles another to avoid predators and increase its chances of survival.
Example:
Imagine you're at a party and you don't know anyone, so you try to blend in by dressing similarly to the group. This tactic is much like mimicry in nature, where an animal evolves to look like another more dangerous or unpalatable animal to avoid predators. Just as you avoid standing out to prevent awkward situations, animals use mimicry to protect themselves by adopting the appearance of creatures that predators avoid, effectively 'hiding' in plain sight.
