Kurt and Jeff talk about reaching the full potential that animals have to offer. Some of Kurt’s improvements on modern animals:
The baby has nothing to do with this podcast.
So, the dolphin’s fluke pushes the arm up and down, and the cog turns the wheel ’round and ’round. The flippers have some bike-brake style turning controls.
So Jeff’s dolphin wheelchair harnesses the power of the dolphin’s natural swimming ability to drive itself. The water can circulate through the tubes to create power for a turbine-driven wheel propulsion system.
Jeff thinks gators are too low to the ground. How to get them up higher? Gator legs. Long, sexy, gator legs. With a security camera for security, I think. Maybe so you can control it like a predator drone.
So, we didn’t get a picture of an otter who could break a shark open on it’s belly with a Pikachu themed bionic suit, but we did find an otter with a beer.

Otter with a Beer

Predator drone
Otters could fly these!

Get that nerd outa there and put an otter in it!
Otters could totally break open a shark if they had one of these!

Power assist legs
This is what Kurt was actually talking about, though.
