8 Amazing Examples of Biomimicry Biomimicry examples, Michael phelps, Summer olympics
The ubiquitous Velcro adhesive is a classic example of biomimetics at an organism level. The inventor of Velcro, George de Mestral, was intrigued by the microscopic structure of burrs that stuck to the fur of his dog. Their outer surface features many projections that have tiny hooks in them.

Landscape Permaculture is an agricultural system designed to simulate natural procession of energy and materials found in natural ecosystems so as to work with the force of nature rather than against them. It is agriculture inspired by nature in its layout and engineering to minimize waste and maximize productivity.

Birdlike Bullet Trains. One of the most famous biomimicry examples is the story of how engineers redesigned bullet trains. In Japan, the original bullet trains created a sonic boom every time they left the tunnel, annoying the people who lived nearby. Furthermore, they weren't as efficient as they could have been.

Probably the best-known example of biomimicry, Velcro was created in the 1940s by George de Mestral, a Swiss electrical engineer. He was inspired after a hunting trip in 1941 when burrs (hooked seed pods) from burdock plants ( Arctium) repeatedly became stuck to his clothes, as well as the fur of his dog.

Perhaps the most famous example of biomimicry is Velcro. In 1941, engineer George de Mestral was walking his dog when he noticed burrs (like the ones pictured below) sticking to both of them. When he studied the burrs under magnification he found their clinging property was the result of hundreds of tiny hooks.
