Mimicry - When Animals Copy Other Animals

This documentary examines mimicry, one of nature's most fascinating survival strategies, in which animals copy the look or behaviour of other creatures. It explores how species evolve to imitate the dangerous, the poisonous or the invisible in order to stay alive. Through striking examples it reveals the evolutionary pressures that make such disguises possible. Curious and clearly explained, it turns a subtle corner of biology into an engaging look at how life outwits its predators. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
