The Animalman at National Geographic

Around 200 million years ago (MYA) the evolution of dinosaurs gave the natural world a new species. This ancestor was so successful that nowadays there is a member of this class inhabiting every single surface of the planet. It includes the fastest animal in the world - with speeds in excess of 200 mph, and the furthest travelled - with an annual migration of 10,000 miles. The evolution of Aves (Birds), tells an amazing story.

AnimalMan Nick Spellman will be introducing you to 3 of Britain’s favourite Owls and explaining their various struggles and skills to survive. As well, a host of reptiles from the order “snakes and lizards” and the order “tortoise”.

There will be many opportunities for the younger audience members to become involved under Nick’s supervision, making this a day out you will all enjoy and remember. These presentations are very popular, entertaining, educational and here every second Sunday of the month throughout the year.
