Deception in animals is the transmission of misinformation by one animal to another, of the same or different species, in a way that propagates beliefs that are not true. Mimicry and camouflage enable animals to appear to be other than they are. Prey animals may appear as predators, or vice versa; both predators and prey may be hard to see (crypsis), or may be mistaken for other objects (mimesis). In Batesian mimicry, harmless animals may appear to be distasteful or poisonous. In automimicry, animals may have eyespots in less important parts of the body than the head, helping to distract attack and increase the chance of survival.

  • La tromperie animale est la transmission de fausses informations d'un animal à un autre (de la même espèce ou non), de telle sorte que l'erreur induite chez le second soit profitable au premier. Cette tromperie n'implique pas nécessairement un acte conscient, mais peut se produire à différents niveaux de capacité cognitive. (fr)
