==Mimic Octopus==
The mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus), was discovered near [[Sulawesi]], [[Indonesia]] in 1998. It was the first living thing to be recognized to duplicate the shape, colour, texture, posture and behaviour of various other animal species. It completes numerous impersonations as it crosses the [[ocean]] floor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://creation.com/mimic-octopus|title=The ocean’s eight–armed impression artist|accessdate=March 3, 2020|author=Calvin Smith|publisher=[[Creation Ministries International]]}}</ref>
