I saw in a documental a snake which fools ants, but not to eat these, but to use these as bait for fooling lizards, which are the real prey for the snake.

  • The snake buried itself in the sand, leaving only the tail point, imitating a tan of grass
  • This attracts the ant
  • This in turn attracts the lizard who wants to eat the ant
  • End of the lizard

Evolution games

Jumping spiders are anywayvery smart for catching their prey, even without the need to disguise their aspect, analyzing the situation and adjust their strategy.
