The Diverse Biological Advantages Of Having A Tail | Wild America

Have you ever wondered what exactly an animal's tail does? Marty Stouffer explores this very question in Wild America. Most people believe it's to help them keep balanced but it does so much more. Snakes use their tails in defense, fish use theris to move, porcupines use theirs to warn off predators which are covered in spikes, beavers use their tales as a paddle and rudder, wolfs and wild dogs use their tails to communicate and express their moods.

The Real Story of Anne Boleyn's Teenage Years | With Suzannah Lipscomb

What was life really like for Anne Boleyn growing up? Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb investigates the story of Anne Boleyn's remarkable upbringing in the Netherlands and France before she arrived at the heart of Tudor England. For all Anne Boleyn’s fame, this is a period of her life where the evidence is hard to find and fact needs to be carefully sifted from fiction. Suzannah explores Anne’s childhood home, beautiful Hever Castle, to discover what made her - what formed her into the extraordinary woman who would change the course of history. With special access to a remarkable new exhibition at Hever, Suzannah joins the curatorial team to handle and analyse the original evidence relating to Anne’s upbringing and the shaping of her character, including a significant illuminated book of hours complete with Anne’s personal signature and a newly re-examined original painting, reattributed as being of Catherine of Aragon, Henry’s queen when Anne arrived at court.
