Mimicry

Mimicry is a physical adaptation that makes an animal look, smell, or sound like another animal to appear more dangerous or less appetizing to a predator.

This increases the animals chance of survival.

Camouflage

Camouflage is a physical adaptation of an animal’s body in color and/or shape so that the animal blends into its surroundings and is hard to see.

These animals are less likely to get caught.
