Who's the best teacher for scientists, engineers, AND designers? Mother nature, of course!
When an inventor is inspired by nature for a new creation, they are practicing something called biomimicry. Meet ten real-life scientists, engineers, and designers who imitate plants and animals to create amazing new technology. An engineer shapes the nose of his train like a kingfisher's beak. A scientist models her solar cell on the mighty leaf. Discover how we copy nature's good ideas to solve real-world problems!

Sqeeker
Color: Grey Elephant
Dog was just love the squeaker. It has two one on each end so my two puppies can both play with it at the same time they like to wrestle and play tug-of-war. They are getting much enjoyment out of it and exercise. It’s a very good product. I would buy it again highly recommend it.

waste of money, not indestructible, poor quality mess
Color: Grey Elephant
not at all indestructible. i have an average chewer dog at best, the guts were all over the floor in less than a minute and the squeaky part was out in less than four. felt like an insanely misleading advertisement. "for aggressive chewers, indestructible." massive waste of money. def don't recommend. Cheap quality, I think a lap dog would have ripped it apart in no time at all as well.
