Nature has manufactured the perfect machines. Eons of beta testing has gone into them: animal versus animal, versus element, and even alongside humans. In the end, only the fastest, toughest, and must cunning creatures have endured. We examine how animals have evolved over the course of time and analyse how we can benefit from their evolution.
