Claim: Ambush predators use camouflage and burrows to conceal themselves while they lie in wait for their prey, and they use aggressive mimicry to attract prey.
Evidence: The ambush may be set by hiding in a burrow, by camouflage, by aggressive mimicry, or by the use of a trap. Ambush predators sit and wait for prey, often from a concealed position, and then launch a rapid surprise attack. The predator then uses a combination of senses to assess the prey and to time the strike. 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.
