Follows scientists as they explore the mysteries of attraction, natural selection, and survival of the fittest in the male animal kingdom. The scientists use unorthodox techniques and the latest technology to study how males in the animal kingdom achieve their main goal of passing their genes to the next generation. For some species in the animal kingdom, males will go to extremes to win a mate. They make music, fight, overdress, and even agree to be eaten alive to ensure survival of the fittest.

Presents a brief history of what new information caused the classification of living things to evolve from the original two kingdom classification of animals and plants by Linnaeus in the 18th century to the present-day six kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria. Discusses three of the six kingdoms: Animals, Plants, and Fungi.
Sea cucumbers scavenge tiny pieces of food on the ocean floor, and they come in all different sizes. Some species are as small as coins, and others can grow to the size of a person. However, this weird animal does not have a brain. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
Examines developments in zoology and agriculture that are challenging scientists, business leaders, and government officials alike. With commentary from Lori Williams of the National Invasive Species Council, it studies a disturbing increase in nonnative and often harmful insect populations on American soil. North Carolina's sprawling hog farms and their growing waste-disposal problem are also investigated, with input from farmers, their neighbors, and EPA officials. Also offers insights into the 17-year cicada life cycle-featuring an interview with renowned entomologist and University of Maryland professor Mike Raupp.
This giant moray eel likes to hide among reefs and can grow as long as 13 feet. It has a second set of jaws in its throat that grabs prey and drags it into its mouth. Now that's one weird animal. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
The blackspotted puffer fish lives in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. To scare away predators, it puffs its body up like a balloon. However, this fish is poisonous, so it's not safe to eat. Now, that's one weird animal. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
Their waddle has made them famous. These flightless marine birds have adapted well to the ice, snow, and frigid waters. Emperor penguins are the largest of all penguins, and they have several adaptations, which help them survive in cold environments.
Neuroscientist Cindy Moss is investigating how animals use sensory information to guide their behavior. Her team at Johns Hopkins University's "Batlab" is currently focused on bat echolocation. The group aims to better understand how these highly specialized creatures perceive and navigate their world. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Features Emily, the six-year-old host, who learns about snakes and camels, takes care of kittens, swims with dolphins, and goes snorkeling. Using a natural, unscripted format, Emily investigates the world through her own candid comments and questions, engaging everyone she meets. Teaches young learners basic concepts about the world around them in a manner that is positive and nonthreatening.
What determines how many species live in a given place? Or how many individuals of the species can live somewhere? The research that provided answers to these questions was set in motion by the key experiments of ecologists Robert Paine and James Estes. Their research demonstrates just how fundamental keystone species and trophic cascades are in understanding ecology.
Host Trace Dominguez learns about taxidermy and how museums ensure specimens in collections are preserved. He interviews a taxidermist, and she discusses some of the techniques and procedures used to ensure that the specimen will not decay and remain as realistic as possible.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses the anatomy of various mammals and how they move. Tetrapods generally use three different types of locomotion. Graslie highlights three groups of animals and the science behind their movements: plantigrade animals, digitigrade animals, and unguligrade animals. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Geese flying south is a sign that winter is arriving. Through numerous examples, this program illustrates the migration of animals. Also explored is the amazing process of hibernation.
Wilbur the puppet introduces preschool children to familiar farm animals and the sounds they make. Encourages viewers to imitate the sounds of pigs, horses, roosters, sheep, dogs, ducks, rabbits, chicks and hens, donkeys, cats, goats, geese, and cows. Shows both adult and baby animals. No factual information given.
Join Joel and the Curiosity Quest crew as they get up close and personal with the variety of animals at Moonridge Animal Park in Big Bear, California. Meet deer, wolves, birds and other animals including a rare look at a snow leopard. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
These animals like to stick together. In this episode, Jack counts down animals that like to travel in packs. Some of the animals highlighted include baboons, buffalos, flamingos, painted dogs, and wildebeest. Part of the "Jack Hanna's Wild Countdown" series.
Where do baby animals come from? What do they look like? A family visits a farm in spring and learns the answers. Shows a duckling hatch and a lamb and calf being born. Viewers decide which creatures are born from eggs and which are born live. Later that spring, the family has a new baby.
What do wild animals do when we're not around? Find out with National Geographic's Crittercam. Safely worn by wildlife, Crittercams capture video, sound, and other information, giving students rare views of the private lives of animals. Crittercams help to solve scientific mysteries by providing an animal's eye view. And what scientists learn from Crittercams helps them protect the very animals that wear them. In this episode, watch as humpback whales work together to catch their lunches off the coast of Alaska.
