Animals use mimicry for hunting by imitating the appearance, behavior, or sounds of other organisms to either attract prey or avoid detection. This can include camouflage to blend into the environment, mimicking the behavior of a harmless species to get closer to prey, or imitating the call of a different animal to lure prey closer. Mimicry is a strategy employed by many predators to increase their hunting success.
