The Ugly Animal Preservation Society

About

Simon Watt is President for Life of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society. At the Ugly Animal Preservation Society they celebrate and explore the incredible biology of the animal kingdom's most un-photogenic creatures. How did such incredible creatures as the blob fish, the dromedary jumping slug and the aye aye evolve in the first place? Find out what adaptations make them amazing! The show features videos, demonstrations and lots and lots of audience participation.

Simon Watt is a biologist, writer, science communicator, comedian and TV presenter.

He runs "Ready, Steady, Science!", a science communication company committed to making information interesting and takes science based performances into schools, museums, theatres and festivals.

Free. Booking required. Suitable for ages 7+.

Sessions are at 11am and 2pm.
