....in the animal world
A fortnightly programme introduced by Dr. John Napier.

Toads
can kill a dog?
cause warts?
are poisonous?
Few animals have suffered more from popular superstition than toads, and although it is now known that much of their bad reputation is unfounded Dr. Maurice Burton suggests that there is still a great deal to be discovered; for example, how exactly do they catch their prey and how do they navigate during their annual migration?

The Sixth Sense
Man shares with all animals a sense of balance. Investigations of the complex organs involved and just how they function are currently being carried out by Howard Howland, Dr. Donald Parker, Dr. Hermann Schone at the Max-Planck Institute for Behaviour, Seewiesen, Germany.
