Aggressive mimicry: is a deceptive evolutionary strategy where predators, parasites, or parasitoids resemble harmless organisms, resources, or the prey itself.

Chattering & chirping is a form of mimicry used as a hunting strategy. Cats make chirps & tweets to imitate the calls of birds & rodents, enabling them to fool their prey into thinking they are harmless. This allows cats to get closer to pounce on prey.😼

A reindeer "cyclone". They do this as a defensive strategy. The young fawns are kept at the center for protection, while the more energetic and stronger reindeer circle the outside. Human or animal predators can't target the most vulnerable individuals.

Old Trafford is still better, our stadium has a fully automated cleaning system where it cleans the entire stadium by itself before and after kick off or sometimes even during the game.

Free housing. Free food. Free protection from predators. There are a lot of perks for beetles and other tiny organisms that live covertly inside ant colonies. But as it turns out, there is a potential downside, too: no way out. Researchers report that a species of rove beetle has taken a one-way evolutionary journey, evolving a clever way to disguise itself that it’ll never be able to undo. If they ever stop refreshing their cloak, they will die. The findings convincingly show how tight knit ecological cohabitation can become locked in. Learn more:

Volvation, also called enrolment or conglobation, is a defensive behavior in certain animals, in which the animal rolls its own body into a ball, presenting only the hardest parts of its integument (the animal's "armor"), or its spines to predators.

I maintain that Predator 2 is the second best in the series after the original. Followed by Prey and Predators. (The Predator unfortunately stinks)

$**This image, produced by the Project Looking Glass, would represent a heavily distorted or "collapsed" future timeline.** Project Looking Glass was said to show **probable future timelines** as visual "windows" — often clear at first, but becoming fragmented, unstable, or chaotic when viewing high-entropy or rapidly shifting possibilities.

Pound-for-pound, a Short-Tailed Weasel, aka a Stoat, is one of the most vicious predators on Earth. It routinely kills prey 10–20 times its own body weight (rabbits, even birds as big as ptarmigan). Fearless to the point of psychosis, Stoats will charge animals hundreds of times larger (including humans, wolves, foxes, dogs) if cornered or hunting.

Don't worry, in Luminary you CAN kill the wildlife, even the harmless ones. No mods needed🤣 Will you be a Hunter, or Gatherer?
