EXCERPT: "CBC’s flagship science program, The Nature of Things, has been on the air for over 60 years. Acclaimed Vancouver-based science broadcaster and environmentalist David Suzuki hosted the show for more than 40. Next week on Jan. 11, the show welcomes two new co-hosts, Suzuki’s daughter Sarika Cullis-Suzuki and science communicator Anthony Morgan.

It is fitting that the evolution of the program launches with a film about, well, evolution. The Mystery of the Walking Whale takes as its subject how whales transformed from land-based, hoofed animals into the denizens of the deep. It is a circuitous journey both for the animals themselves and for the scientists who study them.
