Types of Mimicry | Adaptation

The following points highlight the two main types of mimicry. The types are: 1. Protective Mimicry 2. Aggressive Mimicry. Type # 1. Protective Mimicry: Protective mimi­cry is divisible into two categories: (a) Concealing mimicry: Most of the pro­tectively mimic forms exhibit devices of concealing themselves in order to escape the clutches of enemies.
