Overview

Everyone’s heard about the plight of the Bengal tiger and pandas have a bigger fanbase than Justin Bieber, but what about the animal kingdom’s more aesthetically challenged endangered species?

The Ugly Animal Preservation Society, led by biologist Simon Watt, is dedicated to raising the profile of the hideous, the monstrous and the just plain weird.

Come along for a performance that celebrates the incredible biology of the animal kingdom’s most unsightly species, featuring videos, demonstrations and lots and lots of audience participation.
