In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses the pangolin or "scaly anteater." They are typically found in Africa and covered in an armor to protect them from predators. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Dr. Anna J. Phillips, Curator of Parasitic Worms and Protozoa at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History takes host Emily Graslie on a tour of the invertebrate zoology collection. Some of the specimens covered include earthworms, leeches, parasitic nematodes, bristle worms, velvet worms, and bobbit worms. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Where do baby animals come from? What do they look like? A family visits a farm in spring and learns the answers. Shows a duckling hatch and a lamb and calf being born. Viewers decide which creatures are born from eggs and which are born live. Later that spring, the family has a new baby.
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.

Brooke Pennypacker discusses the importance of the whooping crane pen at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is home to a special project called Operation Migration.

In this behind-the-scenes glimpse into cataloging at The Field Museum, host Emily Graslie learns how to number small skeletal samples in the mammal collection. She also visits the seal fossil collection and examines the differences between the teeth of various species. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie interviews Dr. Robert F. Inger. His career in science spans over seventy-four years, and he published his first scientific paper in 1942. He is a renowned herpetologist. The greatest lesson he has learned is to never stop asking questions and seeking answers. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Looks at amazing instincts of three kinds of mammals: whales, bears and monkeys (primates). Segment 1, Marine Migration: Follows the humpback whales' migration through the waters between Maui and Alaska. Describes "bubblenetting", the whale's unique feeding behavior. Segment 2, Hibernation and Homing: Shows how bears' hibernation and homing instincts help them survive treacherous conditions. Segment 3, Parenting Primates: Visits the island of Borneo and shows how adult proboscis monkeys, macaques, and orangutans teach their young. Suggested classroom activities follow each segment.
In January 2014, host Emily Graslie accompanied Curator of Mammals, Bruce Patterson, on a field expedition into the bat caves of Kenya. In this second installment, the researchers collect bats at night. The next morning they release the captured bats and try to record the "sounds" made by the different species. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Examines developments in zoology and agriculture that are challenging scientists, business leaders, and government officials alike. With commentary from Lori Williams of the National Invasive Species Council, it studies a disturbing increase in nonnative and often harmful insect populations on American soil. North Carolina's sprawling hog farms and their growing waste-disposal problem are also investigated, with input from farmers, their neighbors, and EPA officials. Also offers insights into the 17-year cicada life cycle-featuring an interview with renowned entomologist and University of Maryland professor Mike Raupp.
In 1936, Ruth Harkness, a dressmaker from New York, set off to China in search of the rare, elusive giant panda. Her goal was to bring one back alive to New York. She wanted to share the wonder of China's wildlife with the western world. She became the first explorer to do so, and set in motion a public fascination with these creatures that continues 80 years later. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
In January 2014, host Emily Graslie accompanied Bruce Patterson, Curator of Mammals, on a field expedition into the bat caves of Kenya. They were joined by media producers Greg Mercer and Emily Ward to document the experience. In this first installment, the team of researchers prepares to journey to Mt. Suswa. They have to travel deep into the cave before they encounter any bats. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
