DANGER DANGER DANGER - Coral Snakes & Imperfect Mimicry

Coral snakes are some of the most recognizable dangerous snakes in the world. Their aposematic warning colors clearly indicate that these elapid snakes are highly venomous. That said, there are many non-venomous colubrid snakes such as milk snakes, king snakes, and even hognose snakes that have similar warning colorations despite not being dangerously venomous. Some of these mimics are very precise mimics, and some are very imprecise mimics. So why does aposematic coloration work, and why are some moimics better than others? ==== David Pfennig Lab: https://www.davidpfenniglab.com/ Animal Ark: https://www.facebook.com/Animal.Ark.Pets/ ==== "Coral 009.jpg" by Norman.benton under CC BY 3.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coral_009.jpg "killafellow" by elvissa under CC BY 2.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coral_snake_close-up.jpg ==== Clint is a professional biologist and educator, but above all, Clint LOVES reptiles and he loves to share that love with everyone he meets.
