Educational video for children to learn about the characteristics and fun facts related to lions, elephants and giraffes. Giraffes are vertebrate and herbivorous animals, they eat tree leaves that they find in their habitat. They are the tallest land mammals in the world. Elephants eat roots, leaves and some tree bark. Lions are the fiercest mammals despite the fact that they can sleep up to 20 hours a day.

Welcome to Crash Course Zoology! In this fourteen-episode series made in partnership with PBS and Nature, Crash Course Zoology will take a rapid deep dive into the weird and wonderful biology of animals. Host, wildlife ecologist, and conservation scientist, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant will guide us across the tree of life as we endeavor to answer what makes an animal an animal anyway? We’ll explore the current state of the world and how it's evolving with in-depth looks at particular animals, show how the science is applied, and even take you along for the journey with day-in-the-lives of some astonishing creatures.

Interactions between species are what define ecological communities, and community ecology studies these interactions anywhere they take place. Although interspecies interactions are mostly competitive, competition is pretty dangerous, so a lot of interactions are actually about side-stepping direct competition and instead finding ways to divvy up resources to let species get along. Feel the love?

The Moon might be much bigger than you think it is.

Moon May! One video about cool moon stuff every Mo(o)nday in May. Next: Mars' strange Moons!

Videos, explaining things. Like evolution, time, space, global energy or our existence in this strange universe.
We are a team of designers, journalists and musicians who want to make science look beautiful. Because it is beautiful.

Black holes are scary things. But they also might reveal the true nature of the universe to us.

This video was realised with the help of Dr. Alessandro Sfondrini and it was funded by SNSF under Agora Grant n. 171622 and through the NCCR SwissMAP: The Mathematics of Physics.
