Mimetic species

Mimetic species are organisms that imitate the appearance, behavior, or sounds of other species to gain an advantage, such as avoiding predators or attracting prey. This mimicry can be visual, like a harmless butterfly looking like a toxic one, or behavioral, like a non-venomous snake acting like a venomous one. Mimicry helps these species survive by deceiving other animals, often predators or prey, enhancing their chances of survival and reproduction in their natural environment.
