People often use the natural world as inspiration for their inventions. By observing
animals and plants, they design new products to serve humans. Here are some examples.
Animals can do many things humans cannot, like flying or staying underwater for a long
time. The aeroplane, with its wings and shape imitating those of a bird, is one of the greatest
inventions in our history. Thanks to it, people can travel long distances in the air. This has
helped to develop trade and tourism. The submarine, which can travel underwater, imitates a
dolphin's shape. Submarines are very useful for scientists to learn about the undersea world.
