Species principle: Borrowed Mantle
Wear the warning.
Specialization can turn another creature’s defense into your own signal.
Flamingo Tongue Snails feed on gorgonian corals and display bright mantle patterns while storing defensive chemicals from their prey.
Species principle: Sun Budget
Bask, spend, return.
Energy you collect on purpose is worth more than energy you happen to have.
Ornate Spiny-tailed Lizard basks until its body reaches working temperature, spends that heat on a short foraging run, then returns to the rock or burrow before it overheats.
