How do some animals use mimicry to avoid predators?

Some animals use mimicry to avoid predators by imitating the appearance, behaviour, or sounds of other species. For example, certain moths mimic the appearance of owl eyes to scare off predators, while some snakes resemble venomous species to deter potential threats. Mimicry can also be used for protection in the form of camouflage, where an animal’s appearance blends into its environment, making it harder for predators to spot them. This strategy helps enhance survival by tricking predators into thinking they are not a viable target.
