All animal species undergo a process of constant change. Those that survive do so because they perfect certain strategies that enable them to develop successfully in their environment. Discovers that conditions in the environment determine which abilities animals develop, and introduces survival strategies such as camouflage, poison, symbiosis, parasitism, and adaptation. NOTE: Contains nudity.

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.
A rip current is a narrow, fast-moving channel of water that starts near the beach and extends offshore through the line of breaking waves. If a swimmer gets caught in a rip current, the best thing they can do is stay calm. The current will not pull a swimmer underwater, but it will pull them away from shore. A swimmer caught in a rip current should float and wave for help. Do not try to swim back to shore or against the rip current. Part of the "Danger Zone" series.
Films the landforms and plant and animal life of Death Valley. Details how animals and plants have adapted to this extreme environment. Interviews biologist who are studying the endangered desert pupfish that resides in the aquifer known as Devil's Hole. Studies the desert tortoise and its remarkable adaptations to this desert biome.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) conducts research on the desert tortoise in the Mojave Desert with the hopes of allowing the species to recover and escape the threat of extinction.
Students meet the world's fastest cheetah, Sarah. They also learn how cheetahs have adapted to survive in their savanna habitat. Then, they make predictions about how fast cheetahs can run. Part of the "You at the Zoo" series.
Focuses on animal life in four extremely inhospitable deserts: the Namib's adaptive elephant, a dromedary roundup in Australia's outback, fish in thermal lakes in Mexico's Chihuahua desert, and the Sahara's Ennedi crocodiles. Survival is an eternal challenge to any life in these places.
Explores the world of butterflies and bees. Segment 1, The Lives of Butterflies and Moths. Describes the four stages of the life cycle of the butterfly and moth: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa, and adult butterfly or moth. Shows how their diet and defense systems are necessary for survival. Segment 2, Bees and Plants. Explains pollination and why plants depend on bees for survival. Suggested classroom activities follow each segment.
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.
The hummingbird has a forked tongue that is lined with hair-like extensions. Its design is especially useful for drinking nectar from flowers.
Discusses how animals use their teeth and horns for protection and survival. From the Kool Books series narrated by Hector Bonilla.
Characteristics enabling organisms to survive and reproduce are referred to as adaptations. This program explores the wide range of adaptations that all living things exhibit. Important terminology includes environment, characteristics, competition, survival, structural adaptations, and behavioral adaptations.
New research finds that hummingbird species living at high altitudes have evolved hemoglobin with enhanced oxygen-binding properties so they can thrive in oxygen-poor environments. A team of scientists demonstrate how hummingbirds adapt to life at high altitudes.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) conducts research on the Mojave Desert Tortoise, and part of the research includes ensuring the survival of the species. This short clip depicts the hatching on new Mojave Desert Turtles.
Florida is home to many different wildlife species. The local residents, artists, and scientists provide a glimpse into the state's iconic wildlife. They also share their passion for ensuring the survival and conservation of each species.
In Japan a heated war between honeybees and giant hornets is being fought to the death. Armed by evolution, which species can ensure its own survival? Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Frogs have inhabited planet Earth for more than 250 million years. Today, however, all their adaptations and survival tactics are failing them. More than a third of all amphibians--most of which are frogs and toads--have already been lost.
Host Dylan Dreyer journeys through the ultimate story of survival on the Alaskan frontier. She witnesses unspoiled landscapes and the raw power of nature as animals and people fight to survive. Part of the "Journey With Dylan Dreyer" series.
Throughout history transportation has been a basic necessity for mankind given his need to move or travel to obtain food, communicate with others, investigate, explore and inhabit new and distant lands. Humans' dependency on transportation for meeting needs and in some cases survival is of the main reasons transportation is undergoing technological changes.
