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. Using Crittercam technology, National Geographic unlocks some of the endangered dugong's secrets. Top of Form
Norvin is a good actor and a terrific swimmer, but he has a face that looks like a shark.

Today, people send emails, text messages, and status updates instantaneously. But not so long ago, messages were handwritten and travelled no faster than people could carry them. With the invention of the telegraph and then the telephone, instant communication was born. Radio and television created an industry for mass entertainment that continues to grow, and the computer age changed how data is crunched. With the invention of the internet in the 1980s, the world of communication has truly shrunk.
As shown on the History Channel. The Sierra Nevada, North America's highest mountain range, contains one of the most awe-inspiring geological features on the planet: Yosemite Valley. Walled by sheer 3,000-foot granite cliffs and made from one of the toughest rocks on earth, it is home to the mighty El Capitan and iconic Half Dome. Yet how this extraordinary valley formed has been the subject of controversy for over 100 years. Was it carved by gigantic glaciers or a cataclysmic rifting of the Earth?
Michael Goodisman is digging up the dirt on yellow jackets' peculiar lives by studying their nests, behavior, and genetic make-up. With support from the National Science Foundation, he is getting a better understanding of what drives their complex family relationships. Yellow jackets, like honey bees and fire ants, exist in a sophisticated social hierarchy. Unlike other animals that travel in packs or swim together, these social insects will literally sacrifice their own survival in support of their hives, nests, and colonies.
