Mimicry is when two or more animals that aren't closely related look, act, or sound similar. Mimicry is an adaptation that some species developed to keep them safe from predators. There are also cases in which mimicry deceives the mimic's prey or a partner within the mimic's own species. Inquisitive minds will learn about the different types of mimicry and find interesting and up-close examples of mimicry in the wild. Fun fact boxes provide additional information while a graphic organizer shows information on similarities and differences.

In the animal world, the easiest way to avoid being eaten is to avoid being seen. What are Camouflage and Mimicry? examines animals that use unique colorization to avoid their predators - or to sneak up on prey! So highly developed is the camouflage of some animals, that they are virtually impossible to see. Examples include: - spots and stripes that blend into the shadows - bright colors that warn of toxic poisons - animals that look like rocks, plants, or even other animals - animals that can change colors to blend into virtually any background

In the last decade, research on the previously dormant field of camouflage has advanced rapidly, with numerous studies challenging traditional concepts, investigating previously untested theories and incorporating a greater appreciation of the visual and cognitive systems of the observer. Using studies of both real animals and artificial systems, this book synthesises the current state of play in camouflage research and understanding. It introduces the different types of camouflage and how they work, including background matching, disruptive coloration and obliterative shading. It also demonstrates the methodologies used to study them and discusses how camouflage relates to other subjects, particularly with regard to what it can tell us about visual perception. The mixture of primary research and reviews shows students and researchers where the field currently stands and where exciting and important problems remain to be solved, illustrating how the study of camouflage is likely to progress in the future.
