It's our 100th episode of Critter of the Week ! so to mark that we celebrate the centipede!
Ok, so doesn't atually have 100 legs, but it does have quite a few!
Critter of the week kicked off on 17 Sept 2015 with the gravel maggot and pausing only for holiday breaks, we have learned about 8 plants, 1 carnivorous plant, 1 bat, 3 marine mammals, 3 frogs, 9 reptiles, 6 freshwater fish and only 14 birds - the rest have been a mix of the weird and wonderful and very small creatures in our ecosystem.
