Types of Mimicry - Discover Nature Episode 22

SUBSCRIBE ► bit.ly/2VCQkOZ
In this week’s episode we looked at different types of mimicry - specifically defensive mimicry, used by organisms to avoid being attacked or eaten.
We should note that the study of mimicry is a vast topic and this video therefore contains quite a few generalisations. If you’d like to learn more about mimicry, we recommend having a look through the reading list we compiled while creating this video:
