Wild Secrets - Galapagos: Evolution at the Speed of Life
Beckman Auditorium
- Public Event
The effects of El Niño weather patterns on wildlife have been documented worldwide for years, but scientists are now uncovering some startling new facts. On the Galapagos Islands, lack of food has caused a colony of marine iguanas to physically shrink. In the hunt for food, these iguanas are forced to venture ashore, and some are beginning to breed with their land-based cousins. [An NHK Production]Recommended for grades 5-12
Andrew Medina-Marino of Caltech's Biology Department will introduce the film and guide the post-screening discussion.
This event is made possible through Caltech's participation in the CineMuse Network.
