Use the paragraph to answer the question. The mimic octopus not only changes its color, but also its shape and behavior. It is able to imitate 15 different species. By changing the way it swims, it can look and act like a sea snake, stingray, jellyfish, and even a seashell. Changing its movement confuses predators, helping it flee to safety.
