We just learned about the Colossal Squid.
We know that some insects are dangerous, like hornets.
Other animals sometimes try to make themselves look like dangerous animals.
They do this so that they can be safe from other dangerous animals that might want to eat or kill them.
One great example of this is the hornet moth, that looks just like a hornet but is a harmless moth.
(from: wikipedia - hornet moth)
In nature when one animal looks like another dangerous one, it is called batesian mimicry.
What a fancy word for a copycat!
