Hello
This Week on Quirks & Quarks our feature item is:
Avoiding Attack: The evolution of mimics.
Survival of the fittest may be the law in evolution, but sometimes survival of the sneakiest is the law of the jungle. All through the animal kingdom, there are examples of sneaky mimics. From the butterfly that looks like a leaf cutter ant, to a lizard that resembles an acid-spraying beetle, there are thousands of species that hide from predators by looking like another animal. But how does this develop in the first place? And if it's such a good way of avoiding being eaten, then why doesn't everything out there look exactly the same? We'll talk to a Canadian scientist who's made a career of trying to answer these questions.
Plus - a shrinking brain from chronic pain.
All this and more on Quirks & Quarks, Saturday right after the noon news on Radio One.
You can stream this show by going to Sorry - we can't find that page
Then pick the city that is in the time zone for noon to 1 when you are listening. You have a 4 hour window this way ending at noon PST.
