Physics Flash Animations. We have been increasingly using Flash animations for illustrating Physics content. This page provides access to those animations which may be of general interest. The animations will appear in a separate window. The animations are sorted by category, and the file size of each animation is included in the listing. Also included is the minimum version of the Flash player that is required; the player is available free from In addition, I have prepared a small tutorial in using Flash to do Physics animations. LInks to versions of these animations in other languages, other links, and license information appear towards the bottom of this page.
The Animations There are 99 animations listed below.

These animations were written by David M. Video: Creepy Madagascan Beasts Rub Their Back Hairs Together To Make Squeaks. The only mammals in the world that chirp like crickets — by rubbing body parts together — are these strange shrew-like creatures called streaked tenrecs.
A BBC film crew has captured their stridulations on camera for the first time. The animals have special quills on their backs, which look like pale teeth and are noticeably different from the rest of its coarse fur and porcupine-like spines. When a young tenrec gets lost, as in the video below, its family members rub these quills together to produce high-pitched squeaks. The sound penetrates the rainforest undergrowth to help guide the tenrec back to its kin. About 30 species of tenrecs are found throughout Madagascar, with a few living on the African mainland. Their communications are mostly outside the range of human hearing, so filmmakers used bat detectors to ensure they could pick up the tenrecs' ultrasonic calls.
From lemurs to fossas, Madagascar is home to a vast array of weird animals — but this one takes the cake. Earth View. Www.johnnolanfilms.com. Scirus - for scientific information - StumbleUpon.
