Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on carnivore.
A group of sea lion pups have been rescued along the California coast, their issues range from physical injuries to illnesses. The dedication of the rescuers and veterinarians has them on the road to recovery. They also rescues a stranded dolphin on a beach near the US-Mexico border.
This episode describes the characteristics of five species: the ant lion, the mantis, the walking stick, the Luna moth, and the hickory horned devil (regal moth larva). It highlights insect life processes such as metamorphosis, molting, reproduction, physiology, camouflage, and predator-prey relationships. Part of the "Backyard Bugs & Other Arthropods" series.
Dr. Chris pays a visit to birthday girl Zambi, a big, boisterous lion cub who’s turning one. Dr. Lisa must attend to a cat that has swallowed a ribbon from a birthday present. She urgently needs to locate the ribbon and get it out, or her patient will have to undergo surgery. Finally, Dr. Chris must help get a cranky koala down from a tree. Part of the "Dr. Chris Pet Vet" series.
Observes the animals that make the Nile River their home, such as the baboon, spoonbill, crocodile, hippopotamus, African buffalo, elephant, cheetah, giraffe, lion, vulture, and ibis. Explores what they eat, where they find shelter, and how they live and play. Explains that they can only be found in remote places that are safe, where there is little contact with people, and where they can find food.
The lionfish is invading the Atlantic and Caribbean waterways with catastrophic results. This non-native species has no local predators and is propagating at a rate that adversely impacts the coral reef habitats of the Eastern United States, Caribbean, and South America. This is a story of communities banding together to ensure the protection of native species. Scientists and citizens are monitoring the situation, and high school marine biology students are studying the feeding behavior of this voracious predator.
From fossil evidence, it appears that life may have existed on Earth as early as 3.5 billion years ago. This suggests that life must have evolved sometime during Earth's tumultuous first billion years. How did life evolve? What did early forms of life look like? Topics covered include protocells, endosymbiosis, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, evolution, heredity, variation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Part of the "Biology" series.
The creatures in this episode love the beach. Jack goes on a coastal adventure with African penguins, sea lions, marine iguanas, elephant seals, and sea turtles. Part of the "Jack Hanna's Wild Countdown" series.
In biology, a chimera is a single organism whose body is made from parts of two or more genetically distinct individuals of the same species. Biological chimeras were once thought to be rare, but modern genetics has shown that these genetic mashups are more common than previously thought. Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series. Please note this title discusses human reproduction.
Biodiversity, or biological diversity, refers to the variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms that exist. The biodiversity of an environment is important because it helps keep the environment in a natural balance. An ecosystem which is species-rich is more resilient and adaptable to external stress than one in which the range of species is limited. Part of the "Biology" series.
In this episode, Jack finds out the answers to some of nature’s biggest mysteries. Why do gorillas spend so much time in trees, and why do male lions have such shaggy manes? He also discovers why jellyfish live upside down. Part of the "Jack Hanna's Wild Countdown" series.
A manatee turns up in Trinity Bay near Galveston, Texas. He is named Trinidad, but several rescue groups must work to save him when the water temperature drops. Then, two sea lions in San Diego have life-threatening entanglements around their necks, so the SeaWorld team steps in to save them. Part of the Sea Rescue series.
How do biologists answer questions and solve problems? Within the context of answering this question, data collection, recording, and analysis are overviewed. Examines two animal behaviors: feeding and communication. Illustrates the different behaviors of lions, alligators, and chimpanzees, and then highlights the "waggle dance" used by bees. Supports the learning of these concepts in tandem with the textbooks also offered by the publisher.
In this episode, Jack Hanna is counting down animals that count on each other. He highlights birds that groom buffalo, lions that feed jackals, and catfish that are fed by bats. These are just a few of the symbiotic relationships between animals.
Part of "The Living Oceans" series. Reveals the hunting habits of the ocean's deadliest predators: sharks. Captures the mating habits of hammerhead sharks and the hunting habits of blue sharks, six-gilled sharks, sand-tiger sharks, and white-tipped reef sharks. Explores the great white shark hunting seals and sea lions near the Farrallon Islands, explaining that the bloodthirsty animal culls out animals that are weak or ill.
Algae play a vital role in the marine ecosystem. They provide food for all sorts of species, but in rare instances, they can also do harm. Harmful algal blooms occur when colonies of certain types of algae grow out of control and produce toxins that enter the food chain through fish and shellfish. Eventually, the toxins can kill larger marine animals like sea lions, manatees, turtles, and dolphins. It also makes shellfish unsafe for human consumption.
A winsome, winning inchworm is proud of his ability to measure anything under the sun. To keep from being eaten, an inchworm measures a robin's tail, a flamingo's neck, a toucan's beak, a heron's legs, and a nightingale's song. Based on the book by Leo Lionni.
Meet Angelina, an aquarist at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Angelina discusses what it’s like to take care of a diversity of fish and invertebrates, including a behind-the-scenes look at her favorite animal, the giant Pacific octopus. Part of the "Aquarist" series.
