5 Impressive Animal Mimics

Описание: On this planet there are plenty of animals with impressive camouflage. Camouflage can be used both for defence and attack as it can help animals blend in with their environment to avoid predators but it can also help predators sneak up on their prey. Most animals display impressive camouflage but some animals take it to the next level. Animal mimicry is when an animal has evolved to resemble an object or other species. Mimicry can also be use both for defence and attack and I will be going through just a few of the best animal mimics in this video as I will be going through 5 impressive animal mimics.
