James O’Hanlon: Liars, Cheats and Copycats

From Sunday Morning, 10:06 am on 14 December 2025

A new book by Australian science communicator James O’Hanlon explores the ingenious ways animals use deception to survive, and what it tells us about how our own senses can be easily fooled.    
 
James joins Jim to talk about how mimicry and camouflage reveal the biases of our senses.
