Animals adapt in various ways to protect themselves from predators. Some take on the smell of the food they consume, while others build decoys. But very few are able to do what the cinereous mourner that resides in the Peruvian Amazon rainforests has done. This dull gray bird has evolved such that its chicks not only closely resemble a brightly colored toxic neighbor, but also act like it!.

alsha11년 이하1. The Cinereous bird lives in the Peruvian Amazon rain forest. Two theories about the birds are that it mimics a fruit that most animals don't like or an animal that is harmful to others. Researchers were unable to confirm these theories because there were no recent discoveries of the birds. 2. The insect is a caterpillar that belongs to the Magalopygidae family. This insect is poisonous and that is why animals avoid them. The bird has the look of the insect and the poison in it. 3. Batesian mimicry is when one animal mimics one or more traits of another dangerous animal for protection. This is only common in one other bird, the burrowing owls, who mimic the sound of a rattle snake.- izdafrizz11년 이하wow you are very informed
