If, however, you by chance want to reward my work a little more I have just set up a Patreon where you can do so. Be rest assured that any contribution is appreciated immensely.

      Well, but nothing happens without someone spending money, time, education or energy. Or all four. So, like listener-sponsored radio, which many people enjoy for years without supporting with contributions, high-quality UA-cam channels will also eventually need users’ economic support. I try to contribute to my favorite channel-Cool Worlds (incredible astronomy)-just as I support my local NPR stations-KQED and KALW.

      Apart, perhaps, the mimic octopus, which - despite having involuntarily evolved the capacity to change it's appearance to simulate toxic/venomous organisms - does seem to have the intellectual capacity to deliberately select which of it's repertoire to use at any given moment - putting the behavior a step above instinct.

      The way we talk and think about biology is very much grounded in terms that suggest agency, combine that with how we naturally assign agency to things that aren't even alive, let alone capable of thinking even the most simple of thoughts, and that kind of surprise is common.
      Its why pretty much every time pop-sci content talks about evolution, it almost always has to remind us of that fact.

      When I taught insect ID at university I would frequently be asked things like “why don’t stingless bees have stingers?” When the answer to such a question is “it didn’t prevent its parents from reproducing and is heritable.”
      Turns out evolution is neither intentional nor does it directionally move towards favorable forms in all cases. Sometimes it’s just not fatal.

      One of the concepts I noticed wasn't really present in the video was energy conservation as being a prime concept for both mimicry and why the hosts were pressured into their selections, as well. Cuckoos being lazy isn't that strange when this concept is introduced, and countless animals survive based on this concept as well. How they conserve energy just differs by archetype. Venomous snakes, for example, try to conserve as much as possible. They're cold-blooded, their venom can take a long time to repopulate, dry bites are common, and elongated fights increase its likelihood of dying after or being attacked the next day when it has no venom left for defense. Concepts like this should be considered when examining all of the concepts of Coral Snake mimicry, for example. Also, if you pair up energy conservation with convergent evolution, one may be able to see what its advantageous for mimics and hosts to commingle in a niche. Why certain color patterns for that locale could be a part of the puzzle in mimicry models. These concepts should not be missed.

    That Spider Tailed Horned Viper was amazing! The way it curled the end of it's tail in a circular motion, looked exactly like a spider that was basically running in circles. And the remainder of their camo was so good, that the rest of the body and head of the snake blended seamlessly into the rocks behind them. So all you really noticed or saw at first glance was the "spider". Very cool.

The visuals and images and clear, simple explanations really grabbed my attention. Before watching this, I thought that as a human being with a big brain, I would not fall for these mimicry tricks, but lo and behold, I did. The examples of nearly perfect mimicry in this video made me paused a few seconds to make sure that it was real. I am truly amazed at this and would definitely recommend it to students. Thank you so much for putting out this video and I'm looking forward to watching more.

    The third masterpiece I watch from your channel, I really felt I had to comment. Great documentary, as expected! A "second part" talking about forms of mimicry in plants (look up Vavilovian mimicry) would be great. I don't mind lengthy videos such as this one, these interesting topics have a lot to cover. I find impressive the way you illustrate your script by putting high-quality relevant images, graphics, quotes or videos as you talk, that's highly appreciated (I generally dislike when random -somewhat related, but lacking context or relevance- content is thrown in). I like how content is structured into chapters, it makes it easier to follow up (if you watch it in two separate days). Overall, I feel both instructed and entertained, and that is not an easy task!
