Zoochosis Evolution! Fail lab- locomotion and evolution.

This video came to my attention recently and it's pretty fun/funny.  Here we learn about maximal sprint speed in association with an unfortunate human bicyclist and an seemingly aggressive ungulate.


Cast includes UCR biology professor Dr. Theodore Jr. Garland (re-from my alma mater)!

The show is interesting with a unique way to present science.   What do you think?


From their website: "Fail Lab is an irreverent new science series from filmmaker Patrick Scott, creator of the viral production company Zoochosis. Watch each week as the top minds in science dig deep to reveal the hidden lessons and wonders in the world's best fail videos."

  1. It was great to see Ted in this video. I think the idea of short sciency clips is a good one, though I didn't see the follow up discussion on Facebook they alluded to. The second (of six, so far) episodes appears to be the most popular. It's sexual selection. Yay! Interesting topic. Again, I'd love a bit more info (in a blog, perhaps?), but it's a fun start!
