Animal Movement

This audiobook describes how animals get around and why they move the way they do. Animals shown include a kangaroo, a gecko, a bluefin tuna, a spider monkey, a gazelle, a sidewinder, a jellyfish, a bat, and a penguin.

This audiobook describes how different animals get from one place to another.

Insects walk on water, snakes slither, and fish swim. Animals move with astounding grace, speed, and versatility: how do they do it, and what can we learn from them? In How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls, David Hu takes listeners on an accessible, wondrous journey into the world of animal motion. From basement labs at MIT to the rain forests of Panama, Hu shows how animals have adapted and evolved to traverse their environments, taking advantage of physical laws with results that are startling and ingenious.

Picture a world where newness is everywhere and nothing is casual or stable! Through this audiobook, you will be exploring how everything around us, inert or animated, is connected in surprising ways.
