This Week's Video Picks

Our Top 5 Videos of the Week - Friday 09 October

This week's picks include a look at the history of the Mythbusters team, an episode highlight from the new action-packed series of Whale Wars and a meeting with a little armadillo.

1. Nick Baker's Weird Creatures - Dwarf Armadillo
They might run fast, but Nick still manages to catch a dwarf armadillo and get a close-up look at its strange armour plating. And even though it looks like some kind of tiny dinosaur, this little guy is really quite cute.

2. MythBusters - How Did It All Begin
The myth busting team reveal how they came up with the early concepts and developments in the show, but more importantly, what does Kari's behind have to do with her getting an eventual job as a Mythbuster?

3. Space School: Moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite, and even though we know a great deal about it, the Moon still has plenty of secrets left. Rich in Helium 3 and within touching distance of the earth, learn how our closest neighbour came into being.

4. Destroyed in Seconds - Runway Explosion
When a plane lands at Okinawa Airport with engines ablaze and fuel leaking, all of the passengers have to be evacuated safely before the aircraft is engulfed in flames.

5. Whale Wars: Scientific Research
In this clip taken from the launch episode of series 2, the Japanese antagonise the Sea Shepherd society by writing "Scientific Research" on their ships to underline that they're operating under an international law, which allows them to kill up to a certain amount of whales every year for scientific research.
