Fossil predator robots


Fossil predator robots, originally uploaded by Matthew Watkins.

A robot fish is so old that he has been fossilised twice. Once as a predator and once as prey.

Really cool work - love the colours and the way the fish's tail tapers off. Great idea too! Reminds me of some footage I saw once of a shark and a giant octopus having a fight.. it was a pretty epic battle

Thanks Poppy :-)
I would have odds on the Octopus. I think they are one of the seas strongest most intelligent animals.
Have you seen the mimetic octopus?
