Summary

"People have learned a lot from animals and copied many of their ways of surviving. This interesting book details many, often surprising, examples: bird flight and airplanes; defensive equipment such as helmets and turtle shells; strong spiderlike threads for surgeries; camouflage patterns on uniforms or vehicles in battle; and animal prints copied in fashions and decorations."--, Provided by publisher
