06 Animal Tails

supervised by Mitsuko Masui

Tails are very important to many animals. They need them to balance, to swim, to communicate, to escape from prey, to dangle from trees…. the shape and size of an animal tail depends on what it needs to do. This is a great way to introduce children to the science of the natural world and its endless diversity.
