Gallery: Nature 2.0: The Superpowered, GPS-Enabled Critters of the Future
Image: Vincent Fournier01Scarabee
Vincent Fournier re-imagined animals as highly evolved techno-animals. This beetle has a GPS receiver in its horn and secretes a two-layer ABS/plexiglass material.
Image: Vincent Fournier02Vulture
This vulture is capable of teleporting between two non-adjacent locations. It can manipulate space warps and bypass security systems.
Image: Vincent Fournier03Scorpion
Fournier's scorpion is used during minimally invasive surgeries. It can regenerate cells at an increased rate, which results in injuries healing in seconds or minutes.
Image: Vincent Fournier04Cat
This cat has ESP capabilities and a sixth sense for danger.
Image: Vincent Fournier05RoboticJellyfish
The robotic jellyfish drone transports freshwater from river to dry and remote agricultural areas.
Image: Vincent Fournier06RedPoppy
This red poppy has the ability to generate and project an oxyhydrogen flame. It also has infrared vision.
Image: Vincent Fournier07Pangolin
The pangolin is hyper-adaptive to climate change.
Image: Vincent Fournier08Medusa
The moon jellyfish is able to study aquatic life, map ocean floors and monitor ocean currents. It can transmit data from as deep as 7,000 meters below sea level.
Image: Vincent Fournier09Lezard-fin
The monitor lizard secrets a thin layer of aluminum. Highly adaptable through camouflage.
Image: Vincent Fournier10Lapin
The rabbit is capable of generating new stem cells, enhancing its cognitive capabilities.
Image: Vincent Fournier11IBIS
The ibis' legs and claws are made of silicon-28, making it drought and frost resistant.
Image: Vincent Fournier12Howl
The owl's pixelated vision enables it to transmit a fuller picture to the brain. Its feathers protect it from predators by producing narrow-band wavelengths.
Image: Vincent Fournier13Eupholus
The weevil has anodized aluminum jumping components that allows it to jump 3 to 7 feet high.
Image: Vincent Fournier14DragonFly
The dragonfly is able to detect traces of volatile inorganic gases like CO2.
