I—' What Animals Eat'
JULIAN S. HUXLEY
Here is the first of five talks on possibly the best known place in London. We're taken there when we're young and we return when we're grown up, and always find something of interest-the elephant who flaps his ears 'for a bun, squirrels that like milk chocolate, penguins walking unsteadily down their slipways to the water, Boo-Boo and Jubilee.
Today Professor Julian Huxley , the famous scientist and broadcaster, is to tell listeners what animals eat-its infinite variety and, collectively, its unimaginable bulk. Professor Huxley last broadcast in 1935 in ' Plans for Tomorrow' when he talked of the Tennessee Valley Authority. That was in November, and in April of last year he described filming plants and animals. Listeners will remember his Scientific Survey of 1933 and his discussion a year later in 'Industrial Britain * with Professor John Hilton and Professor Scott-Watson, all three well-known broadcasters.
