On n'est pas que des cobayes

Our testers are going to attempt the impossible: walking on walls. James is the first to give it a try! But defying the laws of gravity isn't so easy.

Our group leader will stop at nothing when it comes to sweets! She’s issued a challenge: to make the world’s biggest piece of candy.

Our trio tackles a common misconception that affects us all. Is hot air or cold air better for defogging your windshield?

Agathe, David, and Vincent welcome some voracious guests to the lab. Can piranhas—those much-feared fish—really devour a man?

Can a man run faster than a horse? The group’s scientist, David, heads to an equestrian training center to uncover the secrets of these animals.

Things are heating up in the lab! Especially for David, who’s attempting to walk across a bed of hot coals.

For this experiment, Vincent turns into a real stuntman! Just like in action movies, he tries to jump from one car to another.

Here’s an experiment that doesn’t smell too good—and David’s the one taking it on! Our scientist is investigating the secrets behind the production of the famous Maroilles cheese.

Impact, pressure, tackling, and pulling force—David and Vincent are examining American football players and rugby players from every angle.

Is levitation just a magician's trick, or can science actually lift our test subjects off the ground?

What is fear? To find out, the test subjects will take part in spine-chilling experiments, such as facing off against enormous rats or escaping from dogs chasing after them.

To find out which of these two combat sports is more effective, the Cobayes teamed up with France’s greatest boxing and karate champions.

After David uncovers the secrets of kangaroos, Agathe turns her attention to elite athletes. Between the basketball player and the animal, who has the greatest vertical leap?

What causes animals to yawn? Agathe goes to meet the lions, while David puts his dog to the test once again!

Will Vincent, Agathe, or David be able to start a fire? Each chooses their own method: physics, chemistry, and survival skills!
