Like Nothing on Earth: The incredible life of slime moulds

43 mins | Documentary | June 24, 2002

Slime moulds is a somewhat unattractive name, but it describes a fantastic and fascinating life form. Karlheinz Baumann has studied these amazing creatures for more than twenty years, in the cloud forests of Canada, in the Emperor’s Garden in Tokyo, and in the woodlands on his own doorstep. His camera takes us into a strange and exciting world, mostly invisible to the naked eye, where days pass in seconds, and microscopic creatures become terrifying giants.
