It turns out that Youtube hosts a great mini-documentary about those old famous experiments in the toad, in which, depending on what kind of a black shape you show to the animal, it either tries to catch it, or avoids it.
That's the foundation of neuroethology, and a great educational video to show! (I usually give videos as a homework. I guess watching videos is easier than reading papers, and thus makes a more humane homework)
The video is split in 3 parts, and is about 30 minutes in total.
