description About

How does time appear to a bird, a shrew or even an elephant? Enter unfamiliar time-worlds where flies outwit humans in slow motion, birds slice through time to catch their prey and plants reveal strange movements. Discover how animals time their seasonal lives and how the moon influences mayfly swarming and the mass stranding of grunion fish. In this world, natural clocks control the opening of flowers, the activity of bees, the navigation of birds, and even an animal that invades the world once every 17 years.
