aposomatic signals
Aposematic signals are warning signs that animals use to alert predators that they are dangerous, toxic, or not worth attacking. These signals often include bright colors, bold patterns, or loud sounds. For example, a poison dart frog has vivid colors to warn predators of its toxicity. The goal is to prevent attacks by making predators recognize and avoid these animals. These signals are effective because they stand out and communicate a clear message, helping both predators and prey avoid harm.
