"Aggressive mimicry" = bắt chước tấn công -> nghĩa là khi thú săn mồi bắt chước khiến con mồi không nhận ra; các nhà động vật học thường hay gọi chiến thuật này là "sói đội lốt cừu".
Ví dụ
According to a study (nghiên cứu) published last month in Current Zoology, the spider’s fecal (phân) facade (mặt chính) attracts prey at the same time it wards off predators — the first masquerading (giả trang) species described to use what researchers call aggressive mimicry to actively lure in their lunch.
Aggressive mimicry is nature's take-no-prisoners version of the dress-up party. Here in no particular order, are some of the most diabolical (hiểm ác) examples.
While the best-known examples of aggressive mimicry pertain to physical impersonations (giả mạo), there are many other forms too.
It’s called Leucochloridium, and it’s a parasitic (kí sinh) worm that invades a snail's eyestalks, where it pulsates to imitate a caterpillar (in biology circles this is known as aggressive mimicry—an organism pretending to be another to lure prey or get itself eaten).
