why size matters in animal behaviour?

How can a hamster survive falling from the top of a skyscraper, ants carry over 100 times their own body weight and geckos climb across the ceiling?
In the first of this year’s Christmas lectures, Dr Mark Miodownik investigates . He reveals how the science of materials – the stuff from which everything is made – can explain some of the most extraordinary and surprising feats in the animal kingdom.
By the end, you will understand why you will never see an elephant dance

  1. thx so much for this – the RI website doesn't work with macs! btw you can just turn off the funny ( beta ) captions by using the red button on the right

  2. the subtitles called me a dumbass

    well Chuck Norris burned those subtitles so now they are in silicon heaven
    you no call me dumbass, dumbass!

  3. You used two similar balloons for "animals" of different sizes so the one used for the largest "animal" was more expanded, allthough, course, real hamster would not have had any chance becayse there are also bones that, when broken, tend to damage organs and blood bessels, including the big ones. So couldn't you use just objects?
