The snow goose's habitat, anatomy and behavior are shown in the first section of this program. It explains the ability of the snow goose to migrate, using its own 'navigation system' and details the bird's pulmonary system. The Great Blue Heron's anatomy begins the second section of this program. To fish for its prey the heron has the ability to stand still, while its eyes can move to search for prey. It also moves about or 'prowls' for fish. The heron's skeletal structure keeps it stable. The third section of this program details the egret's behavior and gives a comparison of the Cattle Egret's and the Snowy Egret's habitat and anatomy. The Egret's bone structure shows the ability of this bird to fly.

By viewing the first section of this program, students will learn how the seal, a marine mammal, has evolved. Adaptations of seals to water and land, including movement, body temperature and body organs, are highlighted. In the second section, traits of the polar bear, such as types of fur, body temperature and shivering give viewers an understanding of how this animal protects itself against the cold of its habitat. The third section gives viewers information about the sloth and how its body is adapted to its tree-hanging lifestyle and lack of movement. Body temperature, slow metabolism, hook-like claws help the sloth survive the weather, lack of food and predators.

The flying technique of hummingbirds is detailed in the first section of this program. The adaptations that allow for their stationary flight include their size, skeleton, heart, wing and muscle structure. The second section explains how bats, the only mammal that can fly, have adaptations allowing it to sleep while hanging. Ultrasound and echolocation help bats navi- gate and hunt for food. The Norway rat (or sewer rat) is highlighted in the third section of this program. This nocturnal animal has poor eyesight and relies on its whiskers for navigation.
The program examines the structure of rat's teeth and demonstrates the use of lab rats in
scientific research.

The first section of this program examines the anatomy, habitat and behavior of the beaver. An explanation of the structure of their teeth gives students an understanding of how the beaver handles building material in constructing a dam. The second section highlights the wood turtle. Students will learn about the turtle's internal anatomy as well as the structure of its shell. Predators, such as the fox, skunk and raccoon, prey on a turtle's softer structures, like the legs. The Brook Trout, highlighted in the third section, is in the same family as the salmon. They spawn in fresh water, and viewers can see how these fish lay eggs. Trout's survival in the cold water is explained. Although the trout is not an endangered species, their habitat has been moved farther and farther into the wild, because of urbanization. Dangers to the trout include pollution, other animals and humans.

The artificial breeding of sheep using laparoscopic methods is explained in the first part of this program. The second section highlights the ability of the domestic cat to balance on a variety of surfaces, using their eyes, claws, whiskers, tail and muscular system. In addition, the video explains the inner ear anatomy and how it helps the cat's equilibrium. The last section of this program shows how horses are trained to be jumpers. A horse is not naturally inclined to jump, so the training of these horses is vital. The physiology of how horses lift off and land in a jump is detailed with an emphasis on the connection between horse and rider.
