  • Small, furry animal with a pointed head and nose. Caption: meerkats emerge just after sunrise.

    Explores the open savannahs of Africa, particularly the mammals that inhabit them and the trees that border the grasslands. Shows how the different animals interact with each other and the non-living elements of their habitat to maintain a healthy balance. Also investigates the threat from an increasing human population for homes, food, other resources, and the resultant threat to the survival of many animal groups. Looks at international breeding programs around the world, which were established to protect these animals and enable them to reproduce in captivity, so their gene pool is preserved.

  • A bird with yellow breast, brown wing, and white and black striped head with a bug in its mouth. Spanish captions.

    All animal species undergo a process of constant change. Those that survive do so because they perfect certain strategies that enable them to develop successfully in their environment. Discovers that conditions in the environment determine which abilities animals develop, and introduces survival strategies such as camouflage, poison, symbiosis, parasitism, and adaptation. NOTE: Contains nudity.

  • Large grey bird perched on the edge of a cage door. Caption: (male narrator) This is Griffin, an African grey parrot.

    Most pet owners talk to their animals at one time or another, and some do every day. But, how much do pets actually understand? Is their perception anything like our own? These are the questions that fascinate Irene Pepperberg and she’s looking for answers from the animals themselves, specifically – African Grey Parrots. The Harvard psychology professor is a bit like the character Dr. Doolittle because she’s been talking to parrots for decades. With help from the National Science Foundation, she’s researching how much the birds understand about shapes, numbers, and colors. Her next phase of research involves how the parrots detect optical illusions, and whether they perceive them the way humans do. Her research will also reveal more about how a bird’s vision works.

  • A gray eel. National Aquarium. Caption: an electric eel can generate enough current to stun its prey.

    An electric eel can generate enough current to stun its prey. Johns Hopkins University neuroethologist Eric Fortune traveled to Ecuador to study electric knifefish in their native habitat. Back at Johns Hopkins University, research collaborator mechanical engineer Noah Cowan and the rest of the team use Fortune's field data to help with their observations and experiments in the lab. With support from the National Science Foundation, they are studying the knifefish to learn more about how the brains of animals work to control their behavior.
