imitate death #schorts

Playing dead, also known as tonic immobility, is a defense mechanism observed in some animals. It's a state of apparent death or paralysis in response to a threat. While not all animals can feign death, here are a few examples of species known to use this strategy:
1.Opossums

2.Snakes
3. Certain insects, such as beetles and butterflies, may play dead as a defense mechanism. They may drop to the ground, curl up, or remain motionless to avoid detection by predators

4.Some fish species, like the European bitterling, may exhibit tonic immobility as a response to handling or potential threats. They become temporarily immobilized when turned upside down.
