The Royal Institution

Which of these unloved creatures is actually the best? You decide!

The Royal Institution of Great Britain

Our televisions are filled with programmes exploring the lives of animals, but these often focus on fluffy, ‘cute’ animals like pandas, meercats and otters. But what about the rest of the animal kingdom? When will they get their moment in the spotlight? At this talk, three scientists will try to persuade you that the typically unloved animal they study is actually amazing. Will you be won over by wasps, swayed by snakes or roused by rats? Join us to explore the amazing behaviours of these typically unloved animals, and hopefully gain a new appreciation for the less popular animals we share the planet with. This event is particularly suitable for ages 7+. As with all our family theatre talks, this event is designed to be enjoyed by adults and children together. All young people under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by a paying adult and those aged 4 and above need a ticket to attend.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and accept the Ri's <a href="https://www.rigb.org/terms-and-conditions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">event terms and conditions</a>.
