Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko and Mei-Lei suddenly hear a continuous sound coming from beyond the beach. As they approach the hills, the sound gets louder and Mei-Lei is more frightened, so Moko decides to go around the dune on his own. As he does so, the sound changes and becomes more of a song. Moko returns and tells Mei-Lei that it is the sand and the ground singing together. Moko thinks that the magical dune is urging him to go on with his travels and he knows that this is likely his last day in the village.

In this episode, the storm has passed and Moko's raft is approaching a new shore. He has never seen this white sand beach and wonders where he might be. Moko wanders off to find inhabitants of this new place. Along his route he passes plants with enormous leaves and at the other end of his path, the beach once again! How is this possible? What is the secret of this strange islandy? Night falls and Moko falls asleep convinced that he is the first traveler to discover the ocean's secret island.

Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, after a long voyage Moko arrives in Amazonia. He thinks that all of the people from this country must be giants because the trees in the forest he comes across are enormous. He climbs the tallest tree he can find and looks out towards the landscape and sees that the trees stretch out as far as the eye can see. Moko wonders if this is what the end of the world looks like. He feels quite alone and makes a wish to the stars to put a new friend on his path.
Jupiter's moon Europa may have an ocean more than twice the size of Earth's oceans combined. Why do scientists think so? A spacecraft collected evidence that revealed Europa's surface is mostly made of water. It also showed lots of cracks and ridges, but not many craters, which may indicate a large hidden ocean.
This video describes how indigenous communities from the tropical rainforest of Darién, Panama, use drones to map their lands. The communities use these maps to protect their territories from outside incursions and to design sustainable land-use plans. The Darién Gap is a remote tropical forest that has been home to indigenous people for thousands of years. As pressures from outside human development encroach on the forest, these communities are protecting their land using a cutting-edge tool: drones. Through a partnership with a nonprofit organization, the Rainforest Foundation, they map their community boundaries to secure land titles, create sustainable land-use plans, and monitor their forests against logging and ranching.

He thinks it is a huge river or a large lake. But when he tastes the water, it's salty. He wonders what sorcerer could have played such a dirty trick. He returns to his village and asks a wise old man to cast a spell to prevent the river used by the people from ever becoming salty. The old man assures him that it won't be necessary, that the river will never be salty. So Moko thinks that a well-meaning sorcerer must already be protecting the river--thankfully.

In this episode, Moko and Mei-Lei head off to the forest to pick some plants that can't be found anywhere else. Moko is following Mei-Lei's lead as she knows what to do. She picks a leaf and lets it float away, and Moko picks it up. All of a sudden, both his feet sink into the quicksand and he can't get free. Some fishermen come to his rescue and they pull him to safety. Moko and Mei-Lei head back towards the village thinking that the forest is jealous and possessive, since it clearly wanted to keep every leaf and every plant for itself.

In this episode, the snow's thaw is drawing to a close and the mountain is shedding its white robe. Alarick and Moko are fishing in one of the mountain's springs and are catching nothing. They ask an old wise man to tell them where there might be fish. He points them towards the road to the "Ancient Mountain." They follow the road the old man told them about and reach a green luxuriant hill covered with fruit trees and streams. They think that this hill--smaller than their mountain, richer and greener--younger and simply hasn't grown up yet. Moko and Alarick explore the natural process of erosion.

To prevent the volcano from erupting, Moko offers it a beautiful seashell, as Mei-Lei's ancestors did. The mountain's rumbling stops and Moko is proud to have learned its language.
Visionary oceanographer Scott Glenn leads a team of scientists as they race against time to launch the first autonomous underwater robot across the vast and dangerous Atlantic Ocean. Destined for Spain, the 8-foot bright yellow robot named RU27, or "Scarlet," is launched off the coast of New Jersey. Throughout her journey, data collected by Scarlet is fed into oceanographic navigation and forecasting models. Engulfed by the powerful ocean, our robot hero faces extreme weather conditions, ship traffic, and aggressive sea life that can terminate her mission. If Scarlet can successfully cross the vast Atlantic Ocean, her historic mission will inspire a future robotic oceanographic observation network critical for monitoring and predicting climate change.

Moko was so sad that he laid the withered rose on the ground and started to cry. The wind rose, sweeping across the ground. Moko then saw that his rose was still there, more beautiful than ever and sparkling, its petals solid as stone. It had become a desert rose, as rare as water in the desert.
