In City Lights: The Hidden Impact on Wildlife, narrator Sir David Attenborough explores how artificial lighting disrupts the natural instincts of sea turtle hatchlings. Instead of heading toward the ocean, they are drawn to the bright lights of urban areas, putting them in danger. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth II, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In Pulling Strings: Heidi the Octopus Learns to Communicate, ecologist David Scheel conducts an exciting experiment inspired by a 1959 Harvard study, to test octopus cognition. This time, he wants to see if Heidi can manipulate a string outside her tank to turn on a light and bring him back into the room. Heidi masters the trick right away, pulling the string again and again, until David has to take it apart because she can’t stop! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Natural World: The Octopus in My House, a remarkable series about a professor and the extraordinary relationship he develops with an octopus when he invites it to live in his home.
