Technically older cheetahs do not really have mimicry. It is the young cubs that do. They curl up like a honey badger so other animals won't prey on it. The older cheetah makes chirps, telling the cub to lay down and curl up so she can stalk her prey. So, to answer the question, cheetah cubs are the ones that have mimicry. Not the older cheetahs.
