2. Gliding in Draco lizards and tree snakes
   “The agamid lizard genus Draco (consisting of the so-called ‘flying dragons’) exhibits an array of morphological traits associated with gliding.” – A.P. Russell & L.D. Dijkstra (2001) Journal of the Zoological Society of London, vol. 253, page 457

3. Gliding reptiles
   In the reptiles, different forms of skin membrane (called ‘patagia’) and in some extinct species, primitive feathers, have evolved convergently as adaptations for gliding.

4. Mussel attachment and the Pinna byssus
   It is clear that the Pinna byssus has unusual properties in comparison to its equivalent in the bivalve mussel, and is conspicuously different in terms of crystallinity.

5. Spitting in spiders and velvet worms
   Scytodid spiders forcibly eject a mixture of saliva, silk and venom in a glutinous mass over a distance of c. 1cm to entrap prey.

6. Elastic proteins
   What do rubber bands and fleas have in common?

7. Penis form in mammals, turtles, birds and octopus
