TOP 10 Technological Advances That Animals Had First :
10. Air Brakes (Birds) :
Bird feathers helps to stabilize the bird and avoid a stall in slow flight or upon landing.The slats pop up along the wing are designed to prevent the airplane from stalling as it slows.
9. Farming (Ants) :
Ants love to feed off the sticky, sugary secretions that aphids poop out after eating plants. Ants encircle groups of aphids with the ants’ chemical footprints to mark the territory of the ant colony. The chemical footprints evidently put off predators, such as ladybugs, from eating the aphids.
8. Retractable Blades (Cats) :
The claws can be released, keeping the claws sharp and preventing the cat from injuring itself when using its paw to wash its face. The cats sparked the idea for such an incredibly convenient tool and safety feature.
7. Sonar (whales Dolphins) :
Ships, submarines, and seagoing devices are often equipped with sonar to navigate, avoid obstacles, and track down targets underwater. this technology was invented by whales and dolphins.
6. GPS (Birds) :
birds can navigate so successfully and consistently to remote destinations, as though they have some highly advanced GPS technology, that is far ahead of human capabilities, already built into their little bird brains.
5. Soundproofing (Owls) :
If you’ve ever spent time in a soundproofed room, you might have enjoyed how peaceful it was. The idea come from The feathers of owls, like Tiny divides and fibers separate the flow of air through the wings. This prevents any “rasping” sounds.
4. Solar Power (Salamanders) :
The salamanders (which are amphibians, not reptiles like lizards) are essentially brought up via photosynthesis. It is also similar to how photovoltaic cells (solar panels) convert sunlight into electricity.
3. UV Detection (Chameleon) :
These days, you can buy light detectors that “translate” UV waves into a form you can see. The chameleons can see UV light rays. they do all that with their naked eyes, no devices required.
2. Bioluminescence (Sea Creatures) :
Before humans invented glow sticks, glow-in-the-dark stickers, and night-lights, fish at the bottom of the ocean were glowing away for centuries. Much research has been invested in bioluminescence as a biotechnology with many potential applications in the modern world.
1. Cloning (StarFish) :
After the controversy over Dolly the sheep, you might have assumed that cloning was a new and strange phenomenon. Starfish have been asexually reproducing with no difficulty well before cloning was even a word.
