KembaraXtra-Psychology – Batesian Mimicry
Batesian mimicry is an evolutionary adaptation in which a harmless or palatable species gains protection from predators by resembling a harmful or unpalatable species. Predators that have learned to avoid the dangerous model species generalize this avoidance to the mimic, thereby reducing predation risk. This phenomenon illustrates the role of natural selection in shaping deceptive visual signals and contributes to broader discussions of adaptation and survival strategies.
