Cambridge Ideas - Don't Eat the Plants 's image
Description: Are plants as defenceless as they appear? See the world how the plants do, as Professor John Parker, explores how plants – the ‘great scientists of the animal kingdom’ – have evolved strategies to defend themselves against herbivores.

The latest video from the University of Cambridge shows how plants use hairs, spikes and chemicals to improve their survival and reproduction by reducing the impact of herbivores.
