Comparative anatomy of imaginary species

Dragons, Spider-Man, Totoro... From mythology to cartoons and superheroes, imaginary beings often borrow their characteristics from real species.
So what are they? How does Totoro manage to fly and appear lighter than air? And where does Chewbacca fit into the tree of life?
Slip into the shoes of a naturalist to decipher these pop-culture icons in the light of current knowledge. A scientific investigation combining biology, ecology and science fiction to arouse your curiosity and sharpen your critical faculties.

The lecture will be followed by a book signing with the Cadran Lunaire bookshop.
