environment parents belief systems permeating societies
survival of the fittest school of hard knocks privileges
strongest fittest do not survive solo hunted by swift packs
play possum play dead apparent death predator deceives
sometimes it is necessary to mimic death to survive attacks
animal deception appearance of death adaptive behaviours
tonic immobility as shock stasis
apparent death defense mechanisms
predator diseased prey forsakes
sly strategy mimic death ambush attack phase
death trap attract entice lure in potential victims
aggressive death mimicry lure in prey to deaths
mimicry strategy as background blending sly camouflage
species adapts resembles its colour shape surroundings
perception detection difficult to detect prey stealth mirages
