S1, EP9 "Swimming With Sharks!"Sharks' skin is used to fight germs; sharks' senses help to build better robots; wetsuits make people nearly invisible to the ocean's top predators.
Marine biologist Danni Washington hosts this series that explains how nature has helped to inspire technology that people use on a daily basis. Some of the nature-inspired innovations include airplanes inspired by birds and helicopters that were influenced by dragonflies. The show also introduces viewers to people involved in creating innovations that are based on animals, including biologists who study the behavior of ants, architects designing "living buildings" and roboticists who are making their designs bigger and stronger based on animals.
