Mimicry is when two or more animals that aren’t closely related look, act, or sound similar. Mimicry is an adaptation that some species developed to keep them safe from predators. There are also cases in which mimicry deceives the mimic’s prey or a partner within the mimic’s own species. Inquisitive minds will learn about the different types of mimicry and find interesting and up-close examples of mimicry in the wild. Fun fact boxes provide additional information while a graphic organizer shows information on similarities and differences..
