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!.

                    That was cool article. I knew that cheetahs could mimic birds, and burrowing owls could mimic rattle snakes, and even some butterflies mimic other poisons butterflies, but I did not know about these birds.
