Why do owls have heads shaped like a satellite dish? And why are their eyes so large. These are just a few of their anatomical features that enable to capture prey. But various species have also adapted to varied climates to chase their prey. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
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.
More than 70 underwater canyons exist off the northeastern coast of the United States, and some are more than three miles deep. In this video, journey to some of the deep canyons and discover new species of sea coral through the eye of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
The Lemhi Valley is a sagebrush steppe in Eastern Idaho, along the border with Montana. It is a critical habitat for the pygmy rabbit, and University of Idaho mammalian ecologist Janet Rachlow is gathering data to create maps showing where and when the rabbits spend their time. What they learn about the links between habitat features and habitat use could help inform future decisions involving land management and restoration for these types of environments. Part of the “Science Nation” series.
High school student Kylee Sipowski has a plan to help polar bears. Global warming is impacting their habitats, and she networks with students, her local community, and international organizations to spread her message of conservation.
Students learn the fundamental principles of ecology. They distinguish between the different types of living and non-living things found in an ecosystem. Other terminology includes ecology, ecosystem, community, population, habitat, niche, biotic factors, abiotic factors, producer, consumer, decomposer, predator, prey, energy, and food chain.
The Australian Koala Foundation works diligently to educate authorities about the probable destruction of this familiar animal. Closeup photography reveals its habitat, social structure, characteristics, mating habits, and interaction. Compromises between the needs of people and the eucalyptus habitat needs of the koalas mean hope for its future.
Oyster reefs protect shorelines from erosion, create fish habitats, and clean the water. Scientists in North Carolina are working to restore the oyster reefs along the coast.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. A frog from ScienScape found its way to Johan's world. He brings it to ScienScape to send it back to its own habitat. Johan, Ani, and Moki then learn that animals live in very specific habitats.
Part of "The Living Oceans" series. Captures the lives of several whale species, including the blue whale, the southern right whale, humpback whales, sperm whales, and California gray whales. Compares the migratory habitats of gray whales with the habitat of the others who tend to stay in the Caribbean or southern Atlantic ocean. Shows the whales nurturing their young and traveling in communities.
Go behind the scenes with Angelina and investigate the equipment and engineering skills needed to recreate ocean habitats. Explore a typical workspace of an aquarium and get a feel for the everyday problem solving skills needed as an aquarist. Part of the "Aquarist" series.
Researchers hitch a ride with the Mexican Navy to visit the breathtakingly beautiful but critically endangered island habitat of Guadeloupe Island. Led by Drs. Borja Mila and Ellen Ketterson, the team sets out to collect some of the first modern data and genetic samples from the juncos found on the remote island, with the goal of learning the origins and evolutionary history of this mysterious species. What they find could have important implications for the future of this fascinating but imperiled population of juncos. Part of Ordinary Extraordinary Junco (Chapter 5).
Ten 10-minute programs explore temperate and tropical habitats and their abundant diversity of life. Tape one: compares temperate and tropical forests, their habitats, the effects of rain on them, and shows how size can generate great diversity. Tape two: uses butterflies to represent species diversity, compares how people relate to temperate and tropical environments, explores humans' impact on diversity, and investigates issues of threatened and endangered species.
In this program, viewers will travel the world and learn about the diversity of plants throughout the various land regions around the world. Graphics, animation, and live-action footage will assist students in identifying characteristics of various habitats on Earth. Students will learn how plants have adapted to live in polar regions, tundra, desert, grasslands, forests, and salt and freshwater habitats. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
Throughout North America, the species known as the dark-eyed junco exhibits striking differences in feather color, body size, and behavior from place to place. These variations among subspecies have caught the attention of biologists interested in diversification, evolution, and speciation. This segment features footage from junco habitats across the continent as researchers try to decode the riddle of the Junco’s evolutionary history. Part of Ordinary Extraordinary Junco (Chapter 3).
Part of the "Life in Aquatic Environments" series. Shows the variety of body forms and structures found in an environment ripped by waves. Examines structural, chemical, and behavioral adaptations that protect animals in this crowded environment. Looks at adaptations used to harvest the abundant food sources of the shore. Provides an overview of asexual and sexual strategies and the importance of larval development in the plankton. Reveals complex webs of life living in these accessible habitats.
This episode is all about bears. Grizzly bears, black bears, and polar bears are shown in their natural habitat. Part of the "Journey With Dylan Dreyer" series.
In each episode, viewers are given clues about a hidden animal inside a magic box. Can viewers use all the clues to correctly guess that the mystery animal in this episode is a rhinoceros? Part of the "Zoobabu" series.
In each episode, viewers are given clues about a hidden animal inside a magic box. Can viewers use all the clues to correctly name this African animal known for its distinctive black-and-white striped coat. Part of the "Zoobabu" series.
