Batesian mimicry — where a harmless species mimics a harmful one to escape predators — is widespread in animals. But most recorded examples of the phenomena are visual. For instance, the harmless scarlet kingsnakes have evolved to resemble a venomous species, while the flower-loving hoverflies have adopted the persona of stinging wasps. Now, for the first time, researchers have uncovered a mammal that has developed acoustic Batesian mimicry to scare away predators.

Luna E3년 이하Wow I've have never heard of a bat mimicking the sound of an hornet and wasp to scare away predators! That is so cool! I really like barn owls and tawny owls too. Also, thank you bats for pollinating fruits because if it weren't for them we couldn't eat fruits such as bananas, avocadoes, and mangos.🦉🦇🐝🙉

adroit_avimimus3년 이하This is soo cool! I didn't know barn owls preyed on bats! That's a first for me! All I've ever heard of mimicry-wise in animals is butterflies of course, occasionally moths, and snakes. It's pretty fascinating how the wild owls showed greater fear than the owls raised in captivity though! Owls are pretty intelligent to know to stay away from bugs that can serve a painful sting. I can relate! Somehow, all wasps are attracted to me, and I always get stung! Ouch! Also, did you know barn owls screech, not hoot like the Tawny owls mentioned in this article? Pretty cool if you ask me! Did you also know that over 300 fruits are pollinated by bats? These include bananas, avocadoes, and mangoes! Say goodbye to those if bats weren't around! Animals are pretty smart! And VERY cool! 🦇🐝🦉❤️❤️
