Animals

This video segment from IdahoPTV's Science Trek shows the process a research biologist goes through to trap, measure and put a radio collar on wolves.

In this video from the WPSU’s series Outside, a staff member from Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center at Penn State University explains how some species of turtle protect themselves in their environment. Turtles, like many other species, are facing obstacles that threaten their survival. Some of these obstacles have threatened turtle survival for centuries, while others have emerged more recently and are caused by human activities.

This video is available in both English and Spanish audio, along with corresponding closed captions.

Using segments from Super Cats: A NATURE Miniseries, this resource explores how different body structures allow cats to thrive in diverse environments across the planet. Students compare several cat species and examine the physical adaptions that allow each animal to be successful in their habitat. After examining these adaptations, students design their own creatures that are well adapted to survive in a specific environment.
