  1. I think that we can still learn a lot more from the birds and how they fly. Humans can make some type of artifacts to be able to fly for longer periods of time with out an engine that keeps you in the air. We can learn how to use the wind better for our benefit.

  2. I think desert animals are such interesting and we could learn a lot from them. In the near future, not only mankind also other living organizms will face to scarce of water. Even today three million people live in condition of lack of water. Therefore, the animal described in the article is great example of managing water. I believe that there are many other animals in desert to research.
