Beastly Bionics: Rad Robots, Brilliant Biomimicry, and Incredible Inventions Inspired by Nature 國家地理仿生科技大揭密：科學家如何模仿動物構造與自然特徵，創造不可思議的新發明

The excellent night vision of cats, the powerful weight-bearing ability of the elephant trunk, the aerodynamic shape of the bird's beak-many animals have extraordinary characteristics or abilities that can be used to solve problems and improve the world. This is what bionic scientists are doing. The matter: how to develop the technology needed by mankind with the smart design of the natural world. At present, we can already use bionic robots as auxiliary tools or to collect data. Such breakthroughs in biotechnology have also become powerful tools for scientists, and have the opportunity to make progress in the fields of renewable energy and medicine.　   　象鼻機器手臂、龜殼防彈背心、蝴蝶太陽能板、仿珊瑚水泥、河馬防晒乳……現代科技這些令人瞠目結舌的創新發明，構想全部都是來自一套最高明的範本－－那就是我們的動物界！ 　　本書以一目瞭然的精采圖片對照，讓小朋友輕鬆了解，有哪些動物界的驚人設計，成為了學家解決問題的靈感！ 　　貓科動物卓越的夜視力，象鼻強大的負重能力，鳥喙的空氣動力形狀－－許多動物都擁有非凡的特徵或能力，能讓我們借用來解決問題，改善世界，這就是仿生科學家在做的事：如何以自然界的聰明設計來開發人類需要的技術。目前我們已經可以用仿生機器人來作為輔具或蒐集資料，這類生物科技上的突破也成為科學家的強大工具，有機會在再生能源和醫藥等領域上取得進展。 　　★拜動物為師，看現今世界中有哪些師法自然界，並得以突破性發
