Mimicries

The natural world is full of things that look or behave like each other. This show hunts for those similarities and investigates how and why they occur. It gets children aged three to seven excited about the wonders of nature, gives them a desire for knowledge, and stimulates their powers of observation and imagination. We do not explain theories in a narration. Rather, we get kids interested in natural mimicries by means of live action, computer graphics, and animation together with music and sound effects. This episode highlights the striping on bees, shows how similar patterns exist on other insects, and gets viewers to think about the reasons. Another segment demonstrates how a dead-leaf mantis performs a different kind of mimicry-camouflage-and shows children figuring out how to blend in with the outdoor environment.
