The Odd World of Deep Sea Mimicry

Natural World Facts
Mimicry in the Deep Sea. Signup for your FREE trial to Wondrium here: http://ow.ly/pyxO30s3v4I To survive in the oceans, marine organisms have had to adapt in a number of weird and wonderful ways. Many alter their anatomy, behaviours and physiologies in order to cope with the challenges they face. Methods such as changing colour, developing stingers, or migrating long distances can help them stay hidden from predators, find a mate or access food. But some animals have taken a different approach to survival. Rather than evolve these complex characteristics for themselves, they instead simply disguise themselves, altering their colouration or anatomy not to serve a function, but in order to resemble another organism. In this film, we’ll explore the different kinds of mimicry, and take a look at how survival through deception can be a key to life in the oceans. 00:00 - An Introduction to Mimicry 01:38 - Chapter 1: Batesian Mimicry - Survival Through Deception 03:00 - Chapter 1: Batesian Mimicry - The Banded Snake Eel 03:17 - Chapter 1: Batesian Mimicry - The Mimic Octopus 04:17 - Chapter 1: Batesian Mimicry - Mimicry in the Deep Sea 05:58 - Chapter 2: Aggressive Mimicry - The Deep Sea Anglerfish 07:09 - Chapter 2: Aggressive Mimicry - The Bearded Scorpionfish 07:37 - Chapter 3: Müllerian Mimicry - Shared Warning Systems 08:25 - Chapter 3: Müllerian Mimicry - The Nudibranchs 09:07 - Chapter 3: Müllerian Mimicry - The Evolution of Mimicry 10:13 - Conclusion: The Importance of Imitation CHECK OUT OUR DEEP SEA WEBSITE: https://naturalworldfacts.com/deep-sea-hub/ I do not own any of the footage. I write the script, narrate, and edit what footage I can find.
