Discover the animal inventors who have shared their super inventing powers to make amazing things for humans in this internationally bestselling book for kids!
Humans may think they’re the ultimate inventors, but animals have been solving problems and creating ingenious designs for millions of years. From super-speed swimmers to masters of disguise, nature’s inventors have inspired some of the world’s most amazing technologies—and this book reveals their secrets.
This fascinating and fact-packed book includes:
- Brilliant animal innovations that have shaped human inventions, from shark skin swimsuits to bird-inspired bullet trains.
- Mind-blowing adaptations like gecko feet that stick without glue, butterfly wings that shimmer without pigment, and termite mounds that inspired eco-friendly architecture.
- Fascinating science explained in a fun, accessible way for young readers.
- Stunning illustrations that bring the inventions to life.
Check out the snail who has invented a house that stays cool inside even in the desert, and take a closer look at the eagle whose super-zoom vision has inspired the invention of the world's tiniest and most powerful cameras. Every animal—and their invention—is a marvel in this unique non-fiction blend of science, technology, and wildlife.
Perfect for animal enthusiasts and budding inventors, Invented by Animals will change the way you see the natural world.
