Fish swim, snakes slither, and insects can walk on water. This book examines animal movements to learn their secrets and shows what they can teach us and how to learn from them. This is an accessible journey into the science of animal motion from basement labs to Panamanian rain forests that examines how animals have adapted and evolved and what the science of animal mechanics can teach scientists who are working on robots and moving devices.
