Douglas Adams on Evolution, Parrots & Predators

Link

"Douglas Adams was the best-selling British author and satirist who created The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In this talk at UCSB recorded shortly before his death, Adams shares hilarious accounts of some of the apparently absurd lifestyles of the world's creatures, and gleans from them extraordinary perceptions about the future of humanity."


This is a long video, but very good.

  2. "Last Chance to See" is a phenomenal book and I dearly wish he wrote more nature books.
