Introduce young zoologists to invertebrates with a video collection from Nature League, hosted by Britt Garner. The narrator identifies the major characteristics of invertebrates alongside their positions on the phylogenetic tree. Viewers travel to Flathead Lake to study the Mysis shrimp and then consider the role they play in the health of the Earth's oceans. The series ends with a beauty pageant of sorts considering which invertebrate is the fairest of them all.
