How does the beetle collect water
in the dessert?

Slide 50 - Open question

Question: Describe in your own words what the tubercles do for a whale.
Answer: The beetles climb to the top of a hill and water droplets condense on little bumps it has on its back. Then, the water runs down the beetle’s exoskeleton and into its mouth!
What have humans
learned from the beetle?

Slide 51 - Open question

Question: Describe in your own words what the tubercles do for a whale.
Answer: The tubercles give humback whales more lift, which helps them manoeuvre more easily in the water. That’s important because these huge animals — which can weigh as much as 13 Hummer SUVs — eat by catching fish. And, to catch fish, the whales have to make tight turns while they swim. Their tuberculed fins help them do that.
