Animals and plants can teach humans a lot about design and engineering, fa a result, many engineers scientists and designers spend time studying them. When they have a problem,oftenanswer. This acience le called biomimetics, Bio-means 'studying living things and mimetics means copying the movement of things. In other words, scientists or biomimeticists-study animals
and
plants in order to copy the design.
Take, for example, a whale. Engineers in Canada are studying their flippers because they move so effectively through the water. The engineers believe the shape can also improve the movement of wind turbines. Similarly, the boxfish is another animal from the sea which is helping car manufacturers in Germany. Mercedes Benz is using the shape of the fish for one of its new cars. The shape makes it
faster and more fuel efficient.
