Predation is an interspecific interaction in which one species benefits by eating another. Potential prey organisms have various adaptations that allow them to avoid or escape predators. The following examples demonstrate either mimicry, camouflage, mechanical defense, chemical defense, or schooling. Sort the examples based on the type of predator avoidance they demonstrate. Drag each example to the appropriate bin. a. an octopus assumes the color and texture of the seafloorb. viceroy and monarch butterflies (both unpalatable) look alike c. hornet moth (harmless) resembles paper wasp (venomous) d. sea urchin spines e. skunk scent f. jimsonweed toxins g. flock of snow geese h. rosebush thorns i. snails have shells1. mimicry 2. camouflage 3. mechanical defense 4. chemical defense 5. schooling/flocking
