Mimics
Both words in one sentence
-
There's at least one snake that mimics cobras despite the fact that its species has never seen cobras and there are no fossil records of its species meeting a snake that acts like a cobra (cobras' behavior really is one-of-a-kind, well, the only species that can back it up anyways...)
