King Snakes are Mullerian Mimics of Coral Snakes

Question

King snakes are Mullerian mimics of coral snakes.

Accepted Answer

King snakes are actually Batesian mimics of coral snakes, meaning they are non-venomous and mimic the appearance of the venomous coral snakes to deter predators. Mullerian mimicry involves two or more harmful species that evolve to look similar, which is not the case here.
