Animal Mimics

by Susan K. Mitchell

Can you tell the difference between a harmless king snake and a poisonous coral snake? Most predators can't, which means that they leave both snakes alone. Author Susan K. Mitchell explores how mimicry can help keep an animal safe, by looking like, or even acting like, another animal.
