Weird Nature — Marvelous Motion

Biologically speaking, walking on two legs is very weird. To go faster and more efficiently, humans use almost any other alternative. Innovative camera techniques reveal animals moving in extraordinary ways. Caterpillars become wheels, a salamander transforms itself into a rubber tire for a fast getaway and bushbabies bounce. Even snakes can fly! [A John Downer production for BBC and Discovery Channel]

Noah Duffy of Caltech's Division of Chemistry will introduce the film and guide the post-screening discussion.

Items on related topics will be on sale by Usborne Books.
