Furry Logic, a book about animals and physics

[Catherine]

Yes you read the title right. Animals and physics! The author/researcher makes a case that animals use physics in their lives. There are lots of ways they do things that require principles of physics. Just in case you think we don't use physics, I am pretty sure we all use gravity every day. I know I do.
So when you see a squirrel shaking its tail it is actually employing physics to protect itself from reptile predators.

Of course the snakes in Manitoba is my favourite  part. I would love to see all those snakes emerging from the ground in the spring. Of course if I get there now I will better understand what the snakes are doing and why.

This is definitely more fun than the physics classes I took.
