Hummingbirds, for example, might have different colours or slightly different sizes, but they all look very similar. Some other times, though, animals that have a common ancestor can look very different. Believe it or not, a huge elephant and a tiny elephant shrew have more things in common than just their names, and the land-dwelling tenrecs have in sea cows a very close relative. How does this wild variety affect diversity? And why is it important? Join scientist Natalie Cooper in a chat with Cristina Torrente about obvious and not-so-obvious relatives. The Natural History Museum in London is home to over 80 million objects, including meteorites, dinosaur bones and a giant squid. Our channel brings the Museum to you - from what goes on behind the scenes to surprising science and stories from our scientists.
