The First Mechanical Gear was found in a Living Creature

A mechanical gear was found in a living creature? 

O.O Oh no! Some poor little creature ate another man made mechanical wonder :'(

.....errr nope. You see this gear is not something this creature, know as a Issus nymph, simply ate while savaging for food, it is actually part of its body.

Yup, you heard that right. It is a part of its body.

You see, these little buggers have the uncanny ability to jump really high, really fast. And it is all thanks to the mechanical gear little portion of their legs.
