It almost looks like AI the way it moves, like at one point it looks so much like a spider, then it morphs into what is clearly a tail, but then it morphs back into a spider as it moves again. But I mean that in a good way, cause how does it even do that lol?
@@Monasaurus_Rex It legit fooled me in this video, I thought this was going suddenly talk about animals that hide amongst predators so their predators are predated and not them or something, like the spider had learned to live near snakes, although idk how that would be mimicry, but it wasn't ever a spider to begin with and I'm just a stupid bird.
The camouflage actually still works pretty well on humans since they're trying to blend in with the forrest floor not the vegetation. That's why they have dark stripes, because that's the type of shadow branches would cast on the forrest floor. Trying to blend in with the vegetation doesn't make sense for an animal that large since to succeed it would need to also move like the leaves, and it'd only work so long as there was vegetation between the tiger and its prey, which just doesn't make sense for an ambush predator. However it can easily blend in with the forrest floor and since the ground doesn't move it can pretty successfully mimic that, especially since the stripes break up the outline whereas if it has green fur then it couldn't use stripes to break up its shape since leaves don't have that and any shadows falling on it would very obviously break the camouflage. Plus darker colors just absorb more light which makes you harder to see, but green is a pretty beight color. There's a reason why no animal larger than the leaves themselves try to blend in with leaves, it simply can't work. And human camouflage is similar, military camo patterns generally always include colors similar to the ground wherever they are being used and even the colors that are similar to foilliage are generally a touch darker, that's because military camo is generally aiming to blend in with the ground and they're mostly designed to fool arial reconisance. You can't really hide a soldier when he's moving but you can probably hide him when he's laying down or in a trench, especially on a foto where there isn't any movement to make a person more obvious.
on human mimicry, one thing we're absurdly good at is mimicking behaviours, which i'm pretty sure is why we're so good at taming and domesticating animals. Like, what is communication other than learning to mimic each other? Imagine if we had another animal do this to us, all of a sudden crows start talking in full sentences with human gestures and stuff. A lot of people would absolutely just do what they tell us!
Thats exactly the Demons from the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. They mimic humans by makig use of "false" emotions to trick people into accepting them, only for the demon to kill and eat them.
@@آریاكل They're called clinical psychopaths. While sociopaths and malignant narcissists can also do it it's normally the psychopaths that are much more adept at it (sociopaths often just don't seem to care, including advertising themselves i.e. gang members, clinical psychopaths rely on lies and trickery the most hence why they are so routinely our rulers and why it's a known fact politicians are all liars)
I would like to add that certain cats like tigers and margays _might_ mimic the sounds of their prey. It's kind of contentious, but it's been suggested tigers imitate the sounds of deer and margays imitate the sounds of baby monkeys to lure their parents into the loving embrace of death.
Have seen my house cat try to mimic birds, when seeing them. To my ears he doesn't sound like a bird at all and he has never been successful in luring them😂
And then there’s robberfly mimics. It’s there to protect them from birds and whatnot, but they’re vicious predators with a nasty bite in their own right, and insects aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed…
You forgot about emotional mimicry, when cats emulate love in order to manipulate us and make us think they're cute, as a part of their plan to rule the world someday
Since we're on the topic of mimicry, I have an anecdote. One day I was in my garden doing garden stuff, watching birds, and I could hear what I thought was a cardinal, but it turned out to be a titmouse. I couldn't believe it at first, and even stranger still was the titmouse couple seemed to mimic catbirds as well. It was cool because it basically lured other less common birds out to be seen, but I had never heard of nor seen a random songbird to just straight up mimic other bird songs. It was even more surreal when I tried to whistle the cardinal call because it sometimes worked on both the titmouse and the cardinal. anyways awesome video bro
Humans and song birds are the two types of animals with the largest vocal range and best vocal mimicry skills and for some reason we end up using that to mimic each other a lot.
I’ve seen may cat do some sort of mimicry too. There was this stray cat that I used ti feed and she was pregnant. One day, she gave birth to one black kitten and I put her kitten in a box. Few days later her kitten was gone and I tried to find her kitten everywhere but couldn’t. Turns out, she left her kitten in my sock basket, which mostly black. The socks are ball shaped and the kitten is blending well with the socks. How I found it is because of the sound it makes and it was a funny thing to see. And I decided to name it Stockin.
35:48 I'm sad you didn't bring up a particular form of mimicry that developed with a species of crab in Japan as a result of human actions. In ancient times, fishing villages used to hunt lots of crabs, but a particular species had shells that vaguely looked like frowning human faces. The villagers believed these crabs were reincarnated warriors who had died in battle, so they villagers threw them back into the water. In nature, this mimicry wouldn't be worth squat, but our human beliefs and superstition worked in the favor of this species of crab.
Probably because it's a load of crap. Several species of crab have similar markings and have local names referencing resemblance to faces all over East Asia and the Pacific. Oh, and those Japanese fishermen don't catch these crabs because no one eats them. So if they get caught, face or not, they get tossed back in the water. I know you probably watched Carl Sagan once and heard him say it, but not everything nice and poetic you hear is true.

This video was amazing, factually correct, delivered well, and engaging. I just subbed. Keep this quality on youtube please!
I’m glad to see that Jack’s World of Wildlife was in this video. Peak study into mimicry right here. 😁 Also, that spider mimicking viper actually tricked me for a second! I’ve never heard of a snake like that.
That was the best "subscribe" transition I've ever seen. You really set it up like it was another analogy. You got another subscriber here 🤣
woah, what piece of media is the clip at 22:05 from?
I truly appreciate your thorough research - great work, mate!
Hello?
Goodbye.
I love you.

34:50 i was thinking you where talking about scarecrows hahah xD
This was one of the most interesting, educational, and entertaining videos I've ever seen. Well done.
@31:12 Milunka Savić did the same thing, she pretended to be a man to enlist instead of her brother. She was discovered upon being wounded, at which point they wanted to have her do female military roles, but she was so badass that she was promoted. Sabaton wrote a song about her and she was featured on Badass of the Week.
I am OBSESSED with your channel. Just starting a zoology degree and your videos are helping me get way ahead, I love the way you deliver the info!! I'd love to see a video about the different types of dormancy in animals :)
3:03 Who would win? 100 men or 1 gorilla?
Secret third option: Poisonous Dart Frog
I could take on 100 gorillas.
secret fourth option: bomb
Hands down one of the best videos on the internet
mimicry you say... HOLY SHIT IS THAT THE RED MIST!?!?!?!?!!?!!!! *goodbye*
Man, the way that all these animals try to imitate other animals… it kinda reminds me of
Manager, manager!
At 4:26, you show 3 snakes and then only show 2 out of the 3 same snakes when speaking about them after, whilst misidentifying one. The middle snake from the first 3 is probably also a Micrurus sp. The Erythrolamprus sp. you show after is not amongst the first 3 snakes.
This is my first time watching your channel. I love your content. Man, mothers are indestructible when it comes to their children.
36:44 bro is NOT being subtle 😭😭😭😭
Holy crap! Amazing video, absolutely broke my brain making me delve even deeper into the topic! Nature is amazing!!
2:52 they will not end up a prince, instead you will end up like prince 😂😂😂😂
