The first is a full episode of "Our Planet" focusing on fresh water animals (56 min). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2DU85qLfJQ However, for a more light and conversational evening, we can also watch or watch instead of the Our Planet episode a series of "True Facts" videos which are comical while being informative.

Knowledge Sharing Session: Mysterious Creatures

Online Zoom Meeting Online Meeting - RSVP and we will contact you with details for login., Detroit

~~This Month's Topic~~ This month we will be talking about mysterious creatures. While we know much more about the animals around us than we did even 50 years ago, there are still things that baffle scientists to this day. CJ will elaborate on some of these animal mysteries and the theories surrounding them, along with some recent developments in understanding our animal friends. If you like animals or the reminder that there’s still much of the universe left to figure out, join us! ~~What is a knowledge sharing session?~~ We all know something worth sharing with each other in our Sunday Assembly Community, which is why we created this event. Come listen to and workshop with a Sunday Assembly member as they talk about their skills and passions. Whether it's some great Excel tricks, playing a wicked chord on the guitar, knitting a hat, a passion for opossums, or a good set of stretches, you'll learn from passionate and educated peers. ~~How to Join~~ Join Zoom Meeting Online or by phone by heading over to our meetup event page: https://www.meetup.com/Sunday-Assembly-Detroit/events/272280579/
