Answer:

Both creatures will thrive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the cheetah cub and honey badger for example. Cheetah cubs have a white stripe on the back to look like a honey badger which are very aggressive! This way, predators of cheetah cubs wont mess with them because they dont want to disturb a honey badger.

Have an amazing day!!
