Inquiry: MikeHansel: BUILT BY ANIMALS: THE NATURAL HISTORY OF ANIMAL ARCHITECTURE

How can millions of tiny termites organize themselves to build complex mounds 10 feet high? Why is starting a bird’s nest the most difficult part of its construction? If you have ever marveled at a beaver’s dam or the design of a wasp’s nest, be sure to tune in to tonight’s Inquiry. We talk with MIKE HANSELL, Emeritus Professor of Animal Architecture at Glascow University and author of one of the most thought provoking books on animal behavior published recently: BUILT BY ANIMALS: THE NATURAL HISTORY OF ANIMAL ARCHITECTURE.
