In the wild, animals use teeth, claws and other natural weapons to attack their prey. On the battlefield, soldiers need weapons to fight the enemy. The Armed Forces have often looked to nature for inspiration to develop effective weapons and combat tactics. From the first feathered arrows to tomorrow's high-tech weaponry, take a look at how military technology often imitates the natural weapons of animals to help soldiers succeed in combat.
