An incredible CD-ROM exploration of the wonder, beauty, and excitement in the lives of the most mysterious inhabitants of the animal kingdom! Mysteries of Nature explores the secret world of animal behavior through three interactive documentaries: Hunter and Hunted; Flight; and The Senses. From the amazing shooting ability of the archer fish to the chameleon’s miraculous color change, from the role of heat in the flight of the bumblebee to the bat’s extraordinary use of sonar technology, this CD reveals the magic of animal behavior. Spectacular video sequences highlight this beautifully designed natural history program. At key points in the documentaries, icons appear which allow users to further explore the animals’ extraordinary behaviors through dramatic photographs, drawings, and animations. An additional section called "The Cast" contains further information on all the animals featured in these documentaries. The narration, by acclaimed actor Ian Holm, appears on the screen as text at the touch of a button. One Windows/Macintosh CD-ROM and activity sheets.
