Meet Fred.  Poor Fred.

Fred apparently wandered away from camp one night in the mountains.  Now Fred is being chased by a wolf.  Which is the perfect time to… learn about all the amazing ways that our bodies work in life-threatening situations!

This is a fun little flash game from the Museum of Science+Industry in Chicago.  You’ll help Fred out on his harrowing little run (and the poor guy does suffer quite a bit), while learning all sorts of interesting things about how the body works.

Meet Fred. Poor Fred.

As a disclaimer: I’ve spent a lot of nights camping in the deep, dark woods, and nothing like this has ever happened.  Generally speaking, you’re probably safer in the woods than in the city.  So remember: wolf chases are the stuff of movies and fun educational flash games!
