Sven DeMilo posted a link to this here, but it's worth promoting up top: a nice compilation of instructive and entertaining videos for zoologists.

I noticed that, in this recent thread asking why you were all here, that many of you said it was for the community and for the smart commenters here.
Looks like an awesome site. I love procrastination tinged with education.
Just more stalking of animals for evil materialistic purposes.
When will it end?

Great vids, esp. the animated pre-cambrians. One link is broke, tho. Ironically it's to pharyngula.org.
Thanks, DiMilo!

This seems as good a place as any:

The first video. Excellent. If only it were required viewing for all creationists.
Those Humboldt squids are cool, they seem to be playfully interacting with the divers. I bet it would be fun to swim with them, that is, if they didn't try to eat you!
wow, frontpaged; thanks, man!
If only I was a real boy blogger...
Let me know which ones are broke. The only Pharyngula link is to 5 sec of spiral cleavage, I think, and I checked that one earlier.
OK, I think I fixed it...thanks, man.
Everybody click on SC's link @#4; it's very cool. That's the best example of recent trans-Kingdom horizontal gene transfer there is.
I suspect (and/or hope) something similar has happened for chitin-making pathways b/w fungi and spiralians, and for cellulose-making pathways b/w plants and tunicates. So so cool.
Lotsa cool but the Cambrian animal animation was extra good.
