Velcro is used to stick together many things. Who among the following got inspiration from nature to make velcro?

Explanation:

George Mestral:

• In 1948, one day George Mestral came back from a walk with his dog.
• He was amazed to find seeds sticking all over his clothes and on his dog’s fur.
• He wondered what made them stick.
• So he observed these seeds under a microscope.
• He saw that the seeds had many tiny hooks which got stuck to clothes or fur.
• This gave Mestral the idea of making Velcro.
• He made a material with similar tiny hooks that would stick.
• Velcro is used to stick together many things – clothes, shoes, bags, belts and many more. 
• Thereby, taking inspiration from nature.
