Meet nature's superheroes. Gorillas, camels, cheetahs — these animals have evolved abilities that put them in a league of their own. We've put together a collection of BBC video clips all about animal superpowers (see Related Resources below). Watch them, then take the Kahoot to see what stuck.
Watch the videos, then take the Kahoot to see what you've learned about how these animals' bodies and behaviors help them thrive in the wild — and pick up some solid grounding in evolution and adaptation along the way.
In Adaptations on the Kelp Forest and Ocean Floor, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes how bat rays, fish, and sea slugs have adapted to live in the kelp forest. Learn how animals have developed behavioral and physical adaptations to living on the sandy seafloor. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
In The Zebra Mantis Fish, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes the hunting and feeding behaviors of the male zebra mantis shrimp, which lives deep in the green seas of Australia. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet II, a natural history series that explores the world's oceans, the animals that live in them, and the threats they face, using modern filming techniques and equipment to capture previously unseen areas of the ocean.
