Found out osprey talons are basically designed like locking pliers

Was reading a piece from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology last night and they said their outer toe can reverse to get a better grip on fish. Has anyone else noticed how much tree work honestly feels like you're mimicking bird anatomy?

Used to think tools beat nature every time. That osprey detail changed my mind.

Nature's always been way ahead of our tools...

Grab a stick from a fallen branch next time you're in the woods. Peel the bark off and rub the wet side on some raw cuts of meat for a few minutes. Nature's way ahead of our tools every single time.
