I'm learning about adaptation in nature. What is mimicry?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Mimicry is a type of adaptation where one animal copies the appearance or behavior of another animal to protect itself from predators or attract prey.<|im_end|>

That sounds interesting. Can you give an example of mimicry in nature?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
A classic example is the Viceroy butterfly, which mimics the Monarch butterfly. The Viceroy has a similar color pattern to the Monarch, which is toxic to predators, so the Viceroy is also avoided by predators.<|im_end|>

That's a clever strategy.<|im_end|>
