How Is a Ship Like a Shark? Synopsis

Animals have mastered motion. So why shouldn't engineers take inspiration from them when perfecting planes, trains, ships, cars, and more? Sharkskin, bird beaks, and sailfish scales are just some of the natural inspirations helping inventors design new vehicles. Find out how biomimicry shapes transportation, letting vehicles save fuel, speed up, and move smoothly.

From bullet trains to bandages, learn how biology is inspiring new and improved inventions in the Imitating Nature series--part of the Lightning Bolt Books(R) collection. With bright designs, eye-catching photos, and lively text, Lightning Bolt Books(R) bring nonfiction topics to life.
