It was by deciding to collaborate with researchers from fields as diverse as geophysics, field geology, paleontology, and genetics that Philippe Münch, a researcher at Géosciences Montpellier, launched the GAARAnti project … Together, they are seeking to validate the hypothesis that land bridges between the South American continent and the Caribbean islands may have allowed the migration of “rats” that grew to giant size (Amblyrhiza inundata) and are now extinct.

It didn’t take long for the group to feel the urge to share their passion with as many people as possible—especially young people. That’s how the animated film “The End Justifies the Means” came to be, the result of a collaboration between students at the Objectif 3D animation school, comic book artist PtiLuc, and the members of the GAARAnti project.
