Animals use mimicry for protection by imitating the appearance, behavior, or characteristics of other animals or objects in their environment. This can help them blend in with their surroundings, making it difficult for predators to spot them. Some animals also mimic the appearance of more dangerous or toxic species to deter predators from attacking them. Mimicry can also be used by prey animals to confuse predators or by predators to lure their prey closer. Overall, mimicry is an effective strategy for animals to enhance their survival chances in the wild.
