Come and get insights into the way certain animals see. This fantastic family show features live animals and the chance to handle some if you dare!
You'll discover there is a world only visible to certain reptiles and invertebrates.
Find out:
- how scientific research by Professor Richard Fortey of the Natural History Museum uncovered the earliest-known eye .
- that eye adaptations in snakes, iguanas and the preying mantis allow individuals to escape predators and locate prey.
- that bees and butterflies can detect ultraviolet light, which helps the process of pollination.
Finally, we will end on a mystery: why do scorpions glow in ultraviolet light?
This show is suitable for schools and families with children aged 7 years and over.
Animal Vision family shows take place at the weekend and during school holidays. There is no need to book in advance.
