The (1) mimic octopus amazingly impersonates certain organisms such as the Lionfish, Banded Sole (Fish), Jellyfish, Banded Sea Snake, Stingray, Sand Anemone, Crab, and the Mantis Shrimp. For now it’s not known the exact number of impersonations but some scientists believe that it can imitate up to 15 different creatures.
In considering the brilliant acts of this escape artist, it appears that evolution isn’t enough to account for such capabilities, in that, not only does it have the proper functional equipment as to perform such an act of disguise but it also has the ability to improvise as to appropriately mimicry according to a dangerous situation in showing such behavior as an unlearned (emphasis) natural talent.
Another fantastic creature to contemplate, according to the mimicry phenomena, is the artful display of the (2) fruit fly, Goniurellia Tridens, which looks as if an artist painted an ANaTomically correct ant onto a winged canvas as having six legs, two antennae, head with a possible eye, thorax, and tapered abdomen to what has been termed a perfect representation or masterpiece, apart from a forged misidentification as a pareidolia, reminding me of a skilled artist I once saw who was able to write a person’s name on a small grain of rice. Anyway, even though it is not yet known what purpose these magnificent impressions serve; nonetheless, it’s an amazing world out there as on display for the open observer to see such beautiful signs of transcendence apart from mere physical constraints.
Lastly, in respect to the former example, in particular, some researchers are recognizing signs of intelligence and are so hard- pressed to find a naturalistic explanation for the evidence that they are willing to concede that evolution is intelligent in considering the idea of foresight, which in this respect, is a term that Dawkins completely repudiates, which in my opinion is because it gives too much ground in taking a step towards an intelligent personality while turning one’s back as walking away from the impersonal blind force of naturalism.
