I have to constantly pull the umbrella down or it breaks which defeats the purpose of having an umbrella. ]]> 2019-02-24 16:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334583808 madrog16 https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334584682 The frilled neck lizard has a long tail and skin flap that could maybe solve my problem. ]]> 2019-02-24 16:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334584682 madrog16 https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334585083 Add a flap similar to the skin flap inside the umbrella to give the umbrella more support]]> 2019-02-24 16:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334585083 madrog16 https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334585200 Like the lizard's tail, make a long piece that connects to the rods of the umbrella to the handle to hold the umbrella down. ]]> 2019-02-24 16:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334585200 madrog16 https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334585519 While I was researching the problem, many people said they just ditch the umbrella and get wet.

They mostly live in trees and blend in with the tree. They also have scales which helps them not lose any water. ]]> 2019-02-24 23:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334647215 madrog16 https://padlet.com/madrog16/biomimicry/wish/334647532 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/reptiles/f/frilled-lizard/
