Bilateral Mimicry

To avoid observation and discovery, animals camouflage themselves by sending misleading signals to other living beings. This process, called crypsis, is a skill. But they can also imitate the abilities of other animals. This behavior is called mimicry. the shell tells different stories on both sides of a monitor: bilateral mimicry.
