True or False
Velcro was inspired by burrs on a dog's fur.
That's correct! The Swiss engineer Georges de Mestral got the idea for Velcro in 1941 after a walk with his dog. He observed how burrs stuck to both his clothes and his dog's fur and was fascinated by how effectively the tiny hooks attached to the loops in the fabric. This inspired him to develop the simple yet ingenious fastening system we know today as Velcro, an invention that revolutionized fastening technology in everything from clothing to space suits.
