00:00But our spy discovers that's just the start.
00:05It even recreates the grains of sand.
00:12Raising its skin to match the texture.
00:19That's not all.
00:21Among seagrass, he'll even mirror its shape and movement.
00:37A trick to fool his enemies.
00:43But as impersonations go, he's just warming up.
00:51For his next trick, he needs inspiration.
01:02Hidden in the sand is another vanishing act.
01:09A poisonous flatfish.
01:12Impersonate this and he can avoid being eaten.
01:24Not bad at all.
01:27But will it fool the real thing?
01:29By staying in character, the mimic has gained an admirer.
01:42The flatfish is looking for a mate.
01:46This relationship is dead in the water.
02:01But he has plenty more tricks to pull.
02:11Constantly changing persona confuses predators.
02:17New inspiration is never far away.
02:22The deadlier, the better.
02:27A lionfish, armed with 18 venomous spines.
02:33But is he up for the challenge?
02:39He'll certainly give it a go.
02:43He flattens his tentacles to mimic the lionfish spines.
03:07And changes his shape and colour too.
03:22Enough to fool an enemy.
03:23But it's not the end of his repertoire.
03:36Sea snakes are among the world's most venomous snakes.
03:47Even though they're surprisingly docile,
03:49their banded appearance still keeps danger away.
03:57It's certainly worth mimicking.
04:07So far, over 15 different impersonations have been discovered.
04:10But has he another to add to the list?
04:25A passable imitation of our very own spy.
