The mysteries of ocean ecology are evident in the annual spawning of coral, the molting of lobsters, the feeding habits of sharks and cuttlefish, and the deadly attacks of squid. Live-action footage captures opalescent squid as they lay their eggs then die in vast numbers. These are ...
The natural world is filled with "moments of impact" -- the split seconds when animals come into contact with one another and the world around them. Previously many of these moments were too fast or too hidden for us to see. But now new camera technologies reveal what's behind these remarkable ...
One of Biology's key themes is that form, or body structure, in living things fits each one's function. This helps explain the "beauty," or adaptive success, of so-called "ugly" animals in nature. If we see ugly animals in light of how well they have adapted to their niches or environments, ...
This series introduces young children to the ways baby animals learn and adapt. A warm narrator, who sees the humor and the struggle that arriving and surviving in the world requires, depicts how newborn animals around the world move, play, hunt, feed, clean and protect themselves. Two animals ...
This program introduces the members of the order Hymenoptera, which have a characteristic slim shape and two pairs of jointed, membranous wings. Distinctions are made between social insects, such as bees, wasps, and ants, and solitary Hymenopterans, such as carpenter bees and ichneumon ...
This program explores the characteristics of body structure, locomotion, mating, habitat adaptation, and other features that cause scientists to classify animals in biological groups. Worldwide, live-action location footage alternates with clear close-ups and captions that reveal the ...
As young ice skaters and gymnasts train, an analogy between mechanical pumps and the heart leads into a description of how blood circulates through arteries, veins, capillaries, and valves. The effects of infection, nutrition, exercise, and smoking are also covered.
Live-action footage introduces several species of bony flatfish, including turbot, brill, sole, and plaice. These side-swimmers are shown camouflaging themselves on the ocean floor. The stingray provides a transition to the symmetrical cartilaginous fishes with gill slits. The cameras move ...
Cattle were among the earliest animals domesticated by humans due to their lack of flight response and to their herding behavior. Their ruminant stomach biology, which allowed them to eat almost anything and convert it into the food, milk, clothing, and fertilizer that humans need, also made ...
Live-action footage highlights the distinguishing characteristic of heteropterans, rigid forewings covering tiny back wings and a piercing tool used for feeding. Omnivorous, carnivorous, and vegetarian species are introduced, including firebugs, shield bugs, cabbage bugs, ...
