Unless you define what do you mean by "to mimic" I am afraid our discussion has no sense. You don't even know what you are asking. Btw. have you ever heard of "convergent evolution"? What do you think, what is the difference between "convergent evolution" and "mimicry"?

V - I do know what I am asking. And I did define what I meant by "mimic". If it isn't satisfactory, please feel free to provide your own definition. Then, of course, you will have to answer the question. Please note that it has always been worded this way ("seem to mimic") so that you couldn't weasel out of it by flailing away at definitions of mimicry and pseudomimicry. Quit flailing. And please quit asking more questions before you answer this one.

What is your favored explanation of the origin of snakes that seem to mimic coral snakes?
