DOI: 10.1093/icb/icac094
Abstract: Many teleost fishes, such as gobies, have fused their paired pelvic fins into an adhesive disc. Gobies can use their pelvic suckers to generate passive adhesive forces (as in engineered suction cups) and different species… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics7020080
Abstract: In this paper, reverse engineering technique was employed to extract the ridges of the hoof ball contour, and hoof ball tissue structure was analyzed based on the bionic prototype of goat hooves. The quantified geometric… read more here.
