  • An illustration of a male Woolly mammoth.

    Woolly mammoths disappeared from Europe and North America at the end of the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago.

  • Closeup view of thin, light green tube-like structures growing off stone. Caption: and absorb the products of digestion,

    Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Explores the structure, life cycles, ecology, classification, and evolutionary relationships of four major lines of fungi: Chytrids, Zygomycetes (various molds), Ascomycetes (yeasts, cup fungi, and most lichens), and Basidiomycetes (rusts and mushrooms).

  • Hydra

    • Video
    Close up view of a microscopic creature. A light green cell wall with a lighter beige internal structure is visible. Caption: are exactly what the algae cells need

    Part of the "The Biology Classics" series. Hydra is a genus of simple fresh-water animals possessing radial symmetry. Observes feeding behavior of hydra, shows detailed microscopy of stinging cells used in capturing prey, and reviews two digestive processes: cellular and extracellular. Also covers locomotion, reproduction by budding, the development of sex organs, and symbiotic guests, both external and internal.

  • Closeup of a baby's face. Caption: (narrator) Many of these events reflect the astonishing development

    Covers the tumultuous events of birth, using fetoscopy and specially constructed models to show what happens from the fetus's viewpoint. Also shows the physiological events immediately following the birth: the almost instantaneous transformation of the heart from one pump to two, the baby's first sucking movements, and the establishment of the mother-child relationship. NOTE: Contains some nudity and shows a short sequence of an actual birth.

  • Foot, ankle, and lower leg of a human skeleton. Caption: It's actually a living tissue, continually changing

    Uses the fascinating setting of a circus to provide the analogy for growth. A magician creating the illusion of multiplying balls introduces microphotography, showing how cells divide and multiply. Shows how bones are continually being built and destroyed and, in a spectacular sequence of time-lapse photography, actually captures a tooth growing-from the moment it first appears out of the gum until it falls out.

  • Closeup of terraced moss on a hillside with water dripping from it. Caption: early land plants most likely lived in moist environments.

    The conquest of land by plants and their proliferation is an biologic story. This video highlights the evolution of plants, while also describing the major groupings of modern-day plants. Concepts and terminology include: chloroplasts, photosynthetic pigments, cell wall, green algae, nonvascular plants, vascular plants, gymnosperm, angiosperm, alteration of generations, Bryophyta, Hepaticophyta, Anthocerotophyta, Pteridophyta, Lycophyta, Sphenophyta, Psilotophyta, Coniferophyta, Cycadophyta, Gnetophyta, Ginkgophyta, and Anthophyta.

  • Person on an operating table with a cloth blocking their view below the shoulders while they are attended to. Caption: Then, these layers of skin and muscle

    Follows a family's unplanned Cesarean birth from early labor through recovery. An obstetrician explains the Cesarean procedure and discusses ways to minimize risk.

  • An animal with the body of a lion, an extra goat head on its back, and a snake instead of a tail. Caption: Chimera.

    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.

  • People wearing hospital gowns and masks holding a newborn baby. Caption: Congratulations.

    With recent advances in genetic and reproductive technology, couples can now rely on science to avoid giving birth to children with various genetic conditions. Explores the medical and ethical dilemmas that two couples face as they plan the birth of a child who may inherit their own genetic condition (dwarfism in one case, cystic fibrosis in the other). Bioethicists question the use of technology to ensure parents give birth only to a healthy child. NOTE: Includes footage of a baby being born via Caesarian section.

  • Person shaking seeds out of the head of a plant into their hand. Caption: Even the smallest seed contains everything needed to grow

    Without plants, perhaps the most important producers in the food chain, the world as we know it would not exist. Like all livings things, plants go through a series of life processes, the most important being reproduction and adaptation. How can plants grow everywhere? How does a species spread itself over great distances and into a variety of habitats? Investigates the characteristics and diversity of the ingenious solutions flowering plants, including fruit plants, have devised for propagation.

  • Crab with red legs and a darker body. Caption: Most of the year, the red crabs live in their burrows inland.

    Christmas Island, discovered December 25, 1643, is just a spec of land in the Indian Ocean.
