Ambush predators use aggressive mimicry to attract prey, and other strategies like camouflage and burrows to hide themselves while they wait for prey to arrive.
Ambush predators sit and wait for prey, often from a concealed position, and then launch a rapid surprise attack. The ambush may be set by hiding in a burrow, by camouflage, by aggressive mimicry, or by the use of a trap. Ambush predators or sit-and-wait predators are carnivorous animals that capture or trap prey by stealth or by strategy (typically not conscious), rather than by speed or by strength.
