At first we considered building a sub-aqautic docking system for submarines based off of the remora. This would allow for stealthier movement and leave the submarines less vulnerable. We didn't do this because the remoras attachment segment is very complicated and would require complex 3d printers we don''t possess.

We also considered making a roof using properties of a turtle shell. The roof would have been more resilient to storms due to its aerodynamic and stable shape. We decided against it because there were already extremely similar projects.

By applying the concept protective hardening in sap to the hull of boats, we can greatly reduce risk of sinking at sea.

Tendons anchor to bones using a material hardness gradient that allows for the joint to handle more sudded stress witohout

tearing. This connection could be used in construction to make more durable connections in suspension bridges.

The leatherback sea turtles trachea is designed to partially collapse to handle increased pressure at deeper depths. This could be applied to submersible drones.

Arctic Fox fur is the best fur for retaining heat and could be used as insulator inside houses in colder regions.

The bone structure of a giraffe's neck is able to hold it's 600 pound neck so it would be great for the structure of a skyscraper.

Elephant trunks are very strong and could be used as the design for a crane. It would allow the crane to move more easily.
