In Playful Prairie Dog Pups witness prairie dog pups who explore and play whilst sentinels keep watch. Danger in the form of an American badger approaches, but a burrowing owl, who also has young to protect, defends its territory. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet, a series featuring remarkable animal behavior from all seven continents.

In How Dogs Understand Us, host Harith Iskander explores how dogs process human speech. Research suggests that dogs think similarly to humans, as their brains use the left side to understand the meaning of words and the right side to interpret emotions or tone. By studying dog brains in an MRI machine, scientists have discovered that dogs not only hear what we say but also feel the emotions behind it. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
