The mimic octopus, which can imitate flatfish and sea snakes to
dupe potential predators, may well be the king of impersonation.
By creatively configuring its limbs, adopting characteristic
undulating movements, and displaying conspicuous color patterns,
the mimic octopus can successfully pass for a number of
different creatures that share its habitat, several of which are
toxic. Now, scientists have conducted DNA analysis to determine
how this remarkable adaptation evolved. - Octopus mimics
