Being tiny is tough! You can't reach the highest shelf where the
cookie jar sits, and the big kids always steal your lunchtime
snacks. Don't get me started on going to theme parks, you can never
get on the rides and you're always told to have an adult present
for everything you do. But what if I told you that being small
didn't suck at all? But was in fact really, really cool. Focus your
eyes on the world of micro animals and learn what it's like to be
so small. Discover how these tiny creatures stay safe, or hunt for
their lunch. Zoom in on their superpowers, like having the ability
to shoot microscopic darts, spring-loaded jumps which take them to
incredible heights or the amazing ways in which tiny hunters defend
themselves from much bigger creatures. Maybe it's not so tough to
be tiny after all!
