Summary Steve and his team combine various open air wildlife recording with a Manchester natural museum visit to demonstrate how various predators' physical superiority compared to humans amounts to superpowers obtained by anatomical evolution. The cheetah is designed for record land speed, the peregrine falcon for the aerodynamic equivalent. Animals also excel in sensory performances, such an a bear's smell, a chameleon's 360 degrees vision or focus when combining detached eyes, a bat's sonar-hearing, a seal's sensitive whiskers and a shark's additional electric sense.
