In Protecting the Manatee in Belize, host Simon Reeve journeys to Belize, home to one of the last large populations of manatees. These gentle marine giants, surprisingly related to elephants, face grave danger as reckless boating claims around 50 lives annually. Simon visits Wild Tracks, a rehabilitation center, where he meets baby manatees in recovery and witnesses a heartwarming release of one back into the wild. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Americas With Simon Reeve, in which Simon Reeve explores the landscapes, cultures, and wildlife of North and South America.
In The Go Jetters at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the Go Jetters crew learns about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Ubercorn shares facts about how garbage gets into the ocean and how large the garbage patches are. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four international heroes as they travel the globe visiting landmarks and solving environmental problems with Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In Your Skin as Insulator, evolutionary biologist Ben Garrod explores the role of skin in insulating the body against cold and heat. Focusing on how skin and body fat, particularly in animals like marine mammals and polar bears, helps regulate temperature, learn about how hair follicles and layers like blubber contribute to insulation and temperature regulation. This video is excerpted from Secrets of Skin, a documentary series exploring the natural history of the body’s largest organ.
In Strange Creatures at 500 Meters Below, narrator David Attenborough explains how plankton retreats into the ocean depths as the Sun rises. To follow it, we descend in a submarine where pressure increases, and temperatures drop. At 500 meters (1,640 feet) below, strange creatures emerge. Organic particles, known as marine snow, drift down, serving as food for many animals like the sea spider, which uses feathered leg-like appendages to capture it. Meanwhile, the sawtooth eel waits motionless, ready to strike at silhouetted prey swimming near the faint glow from the surface. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
