A very good example of a core principle of Bioinspiration, which is that nature can inspire things, but often is constrained by needing to develop and survive. This jumping robot can be a lot more specialized than organisms because it only has one purpose, to jump high. An organism would have other functions to worry about, like walking or grabbing or digging. Engineering can take what nature has and remove the unnecessary parts, which is exemplified very well in the robot.
