Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy - Animal Locomotion
This episode of Bill Nye's science series is about the different ways animals get around. As usual, Nye uses lively effects to grab kids' attention, and his jokes and weird camera techniques are all designed to keep the subject interesting. Viewers will see close-ups of a millipede and its multiple feet, animals who fly, and others who leap and jump. He also shows creatures who travel without legs of anykind.
