00:0-1	adventure and fun . Here we come . We are
00:02	learning about amazing animals around the world . Like pandas
00:07	, elephants . We are going to learn some incredible
00:09	things about elephants , sloths . Here are some baby
00:13	sloths . Oh and gorillas . You'll learn all about
00:18	gorillas to okay , I can't handle the cuteness .
00:21	I just can't . And of course we have a
00:25	couple of surprise animals we are going to learn about
00:28	as well . You'll have to watch to the end
00:31	to see what animals they are 1st . Let's learn
00:36	about elephants . Ready ? All right , What are
00:43	elephants ? Well , elephants are huge mammals that have
00:46	a long trunk and big ears . Oh , look
00:51	at this elephant . Taking a walk through a field
00:53	. We mentioned the elephants are huge and when we
00:56	say they are huge , we are not kidding .
00:59	In fact , African elephants are the largest land animals
01:03	in the world . Okay . And you might be
01:06	wondering just how big are african elephants ? It's incredible
01:12	. African elephants can get as tall as 13 ft
01:17	and can weigh as many as £14,000. . That is
01:23	massive . Yeah . So if anyone ever asks you
01:29	, what is the largest land animal in the world
01:32	, you know what to tell them ? Mm .
01:35	The African elephant helping . Can they get as many
01:39	as 13 ft tall and £14,000 in weight . So
01:43	elephants are massive and African elephants are so big ,
01:47	they are the largest land animals in the world .
01:52	Mm Okay , but where can you find elephants living
01:57	in the wild ? Do you know ? Okay ,
02:02	why are we showing an elephant in a neighborhood ?
02:05	Okay , this is not the natural habitat of an
02:08	elephant . Okay . They don't live in neighborhoods .
02:11	Where in the world can you find wild elephants in
02:14	their natural habitats ? All right . We can work
02:18	with this a world map . Now , let's look
02:20	at the world map to find out where elephants live
02:23	in the wild . Well , elephants live in the
02:26	wild in parts of Africa , South Asia , and
02:30	Southeast Asia . Let's say those places again . And
02:33	make sure you look at where they are on the
02:35	map , elephants live in the wild in parts of
02:38	Africa , South Asia , and Southeast Asia . This
02:45	next fact is a fact you're gonna want to share
02:48	with someone . Okay , check this out . A
02:53	group of elephants is called a parade . Isn't that
02:56	a neat name for a group of elephants ? A
02:58	group of elephants is called uh parade . Now ,
03:07	if you ever see a parade of elephants , you're
03:10	probably going to see baby elephants in the parade .
03:14	Do you happen to know what baby elephants are called
03:18	? Yeah , baby elephants are called calves . Can
03:23	you say that word , Cavs ? Baby elephants are
03:27	called calves . Now we are going to talk about
03:33	a very special part of an elephant's body called the
03:36	trunk . The long trunk of an elephant is super
03:42	helpful here . You can see an elephant using its
03:44	trunk to eat . That is how an elephant brings
03:47	food to its mouth using its trunk . An elephant
03:50	couldn't survive without its trunk . You see elephants use
03:57	their trunks to bring food and water to their mouths
04:01	. They also use their trunks to breathe and to
04:04	smell the trunk of an elephant . Not only brings
04:07	food and water to an elephant's mouth , but it
04:09	also functions as their nose . Elephants also use their
04:13	trunks to give themselves baths and more elephant trunks are
04:17	so important to the elephants . Mm . Speaking of
04:22	baths , elephants give themselves something called a dust bath
04:27	, It might seem strange to us . Right ?
04:29	Why would an elephant give itself a bath with dirt
04:33	? But dust baths are a great way for elephants
04:36	to help their skin and to fight against nasty insects
04:40	called parasites . Isn't that awesome ? Yeah . For
04:46	an elephant taking a dust bath is a smart thing
04:49	to do . Which shouldn't be surprising because elephants are
04:53	incredibly smart . They are incredibly smart . In fact
04:59	elephants have a larger brain than any other land mammal
05:04	. That's right and their brain can get as big
05:07	as £13.13 pounds . Imagine a £13 brain , wow
05:15	elephants are so smart and their brains are so huge
05:22	. That is why elephants are famous for their incredible
05:27	memory . Elephants have an amazing memory . They can
05:31	remember places other elephants , things that happen to them
05:35	. They can remember people , they have an amazing
05:38	memory . Next time you have a test you could
05:41	think wow I wish that I was an elephant .
05:44	It was able to remember so much so easily .
05:47	But as people are , memory isn't as good .
05:49	We've got to work really hard for it but elephants
05:52	can remember incredibly well . Mhm . Okay . It
05:57	is time for our final elephant fact and it has
06:01	to do with what elephants eat . And the fact
06:04	is this elephants are herbivores Now . What's a herbivore
06:10	? Mhm . Uh huh . Herbivores are animals that
06:14	just eat plants and that's what an elephant is .
06:18	An elephant is a her before an animal that just
06:21	eats plants . They don't eat meat . Do you
06:23	like to eat plants ? Cool plants are tasty and
06:30	healthy . Too awesome . Next let's learn about pandas
06:37	the thumbnail of this video How to panda on it
06:40	. This video opened with a panda . It's time
06:43	we learn all about pandas . Pandas are bears that
06:49	are easy to spot . They have huge black spots
06:52	around the eyes over their ears , their legs and
06:56	across their backs . These bears with black markings look
07:00	really cool , don't they ? Yeah , So you
07:06	might be wondering where Pandas are from Pandas are from
07:10	China . They still live in the wild in China
07:14	though there are Pandas that are in captivity in other
07:17	parts of the world . And this is interesting because
07:20	they live in China . It wasn't until 1869 that
07:24	the United States and europe found out about these amazing
07:28	bears , wow . Imagine that pandas were like the
07:34	best kept secret in the animal world for a long
07:38	time . Let's learn even more facts about these special
07:41	bears from china . Mhm . First let's look at
07:47	what a panda eats . It might be surprising to
07:51	you literally 99 of a panda's diet consists of bamboo
07:58	. That's right . They're carnivores , which means they're
08:02	able to eat me , but they just prefer bamboo
08:05	and they spend most of their day collecting bamboo ,
08:09	getting it ready and eating it . Yeah , when
08:15	pandas are in captivity , they generally eat a lot
08:19	of other foods . It can be difficult to supply
08:21	pandas with the amount of bamboo they need when they
08:24	are kept in other countries . But in the wild
08:30	pandas want their bamboo wow . This cartoon panda is
08:34	really going to town on this bamboo . Next we
08:40	are going to learn about perhaps the cutest babies in
08:43	the animal kingdom . Panda babies . Panda babies are
08:47	so cute . It could hurt your eyes . Not
08:51	really , but almost comment below if you think panda
08:54	babies are the cutest in the animal world , Panda
09:02	babies , like the babies of other bears are called
09:05	cubs . That's right . And unlike the nice little
09:09	cartoon right here , the father isn't involved in raising
09:13	the cub . The mother alone raises the cub .
09:18	Mhm . We mentioned that the panda fathers go on
09:23	and do their own thing . The reason they like
09:26	to do that is because pandas are solitary creatures .
09:30	They enjoy being alone . While there are times when
09:34	a panda , maybe in a group , pandas usually
09:38	prefer to be alone . Now we need to warn
09:41	you here , seriously , get ready for the satisfactory
09:49	we have ever shared . It is going to sound
09:52	mean , but that isn't our fault . We aren't
09:54	the ones that did this . Okay . All right
09:56	. You have been worn okay here it is .
10:02	A group of pandas is called an embarrassment . Yes
10:06	. A group of pandas is an embarrassment of pandas
10:11	. No wonder pandas like to be alone . They
10:15	don't want to be called an embarrassment . Some people
10:18	don't like this term , so some people call a
10:21	group of pandas a bamboo , a bamboo of pandas
10:25	. But the name of a group of pandas actually
10:29	is an embarrassment . There are actually people that are
10:38	petitioning to change that because that's just not a very
10:42	nice way of saying a group of pandas . There
10:44	has to be a better way , a nicer way
10:48	to say a group of pandas than using the word
10:51	embarrassment . Okay , we're all good . Right ,
10:57	wow . So we learned that pandas like to be
11:00	alone and that when they are in a group ,
11:03	that group is called an embarrassment and they should probably
11:06	change that word because it's mean , but that's just
11:09	what they're called . All right now we are going
11:12	to talk about sleep . That sounds fun . Mm
11:19	So here is our question , how much do pandas
11:22	sleep ? That's a good question . How much do
11:26	you think ? How much do pandas sleep ? This
11:33	might surprise you , but Pandas only sleep about 10
11:37	hours a day . That means Pandas sleep about the
11:40	same amount as most kids do . That's right .
11:43	You sleep about the same amount as a panda .
11:47	That's pretty cool . Pandas are very busy collecting food
11:52	and eating can take up a lot of time in
11:56	their day . They can usually only fit in about
11:59	10 hours of sleep and rest . Yeah , wow
12:07	, these truly are amazing animals . We love pandas
12:12	and want to make sure we protect them . But
12:18	Pandas were once considered an endangered species . That was
12:22	because their numbers got so low . As recently as
12:25	the 1970s there were only about 1000 Pandas living in
12:30	the wild . That's it . Just 1000 , thankfully
12:34	. In 2,018 The number is about 1900 Pandas .
12:40	So the numbers have been increasing . Mhm . One
12:48	of the biggest challenges for pandas is their habitat has
12:52	been shrinking as more and more land is developed .
12:55	The land that pandas call home continues to get smaller
13:00	and smaller . Remember pandas like to have their space
13:04	and enjoy being alone but the land and forests they
13:10	call home have decreased substantially . The good news is
13:14	there are organizations that fight to protect not just the
13:19	pandas but the areas they call home . While pandas
13:26	are no longer considered endangered , they are still considered
13:30	something called a threatened species , which means we have
13:35	to continue our efforts to protect and defend them .
13:43	Okay , next we are learning about sloths get it
13:50	because they move slowly . Oh we're getting ahead of
13:53	ourselves , sloths are medium sized mammals that live in
13:59	the trees . Yeah , they live in the trees
14:02	there tree dwellers , that's where their home is ,
14:06	there at home in the trees . Okay , so
14:11	where in the world can you find these fascinating mammals
14:15	that live in trees called sloths ? If you wanted
14:18	to see a sloth , where in the world would
14:21	you have to go ? Mhm . You would have
14:27	to go to central and south America . That is
14:30	where sloths live , sloths live in central and south
14:34	America , living peaceful lives in the trees . That's
14:39	pretty awesome . Here's where we need your help .
14:44	What are sloths known for ? Mm . Do you
14:48	know what is it about sloth that almost everyone seems
14:52	to know about ? What's the most famous thing about
14:55	sloths ? What are sloths known for ? Mhm .
15:00	Mhm . Yeah , sloths are known for being slow
15:05	, sloths move very very slowly which actually helps them
15:10	out . It's very important that sloths move slowly because
15:17	they are so slow . They save energy , the
15:20	foods they eat don't give them a lot of energy
15:22	. So it is very important for sloths to save
15:25	as much energy as they can . The slow movement
15:29	can also help them avoid being discovered by certain predators
15:34	. That's pretty cool if a sloth is discovered by
15:39	a predator , the predator better watch out . That
15:42	is because sloths have very sharp claws , sloths are
15:47	actually incredibly dangerous . Their claws can do a lot
15:51	of damage . They move slow but their claws do
15:55	a great job of protecting the slots . Okay ,
16:02	we get it , sloths are slow but just how
16:05	slow are they will catch this . The three toed
16:09	sloth is the slowest moving mammal in the world .
16:14	It's true . The other main type of sloth called
16:16	the two toed sloth is also very slow but as
16:21	we mentioned , two slots . It is an advantage
16:24	being slow . Hey , did you notice the sloth
16:28	baby in this picture ? Yeah right there . Oh
16:31	my goodness , little sloth baby . Another interesting thing
16:38	about sloths is that sloths have a very low muscle
16:42	mass , especially when you compare them to other mammals
16:46	. They are really different from muscle man ted ,
16:49	wow , you love lifting weights , don't you ?
16:52	Ted mm . Here is a cool question . What
16:57	do sloths eat while all sloths eat leaves ? Three
17:01	toed sloths only eat leaves , which to us might
17:05	sound boring but they make it work . Two toed
17:08	sloths can eat fruit , insects and even lizards in
17:12	addition to leaves . But one thing is for sure
17:16	they digest their food very slowly . But you might
17:20	have already guessed that they do everything slowly . Oh
17:27	this sloth is on the ground . Here is our
17:30	final fact about sloss . They have to be very
17:33	careful and they are on the ground . Many sloths
17:37	only go to the ground about once a week .
17:40	That's it . It is when they are on the
17:42	ground that they are most vulnerable and open to being
17:46	attacked . But remember their claws slots will definitely fight
17:51	back very slowly but they will fight back . Great
17:58	. Now we are going to learn about gorillas .
18:01	Yeah , gorillas are awesome . Don't . And here
18:06	is the first thing we're going to learn about Gorillas
18:09	. Gorillas are the largest apes in the world .
18:13	That's right . They are truly massive . Gorillas can
18:17	weigh as many as £430. . Hey do you know
18:25	where gorillas live ? Where in the world are guerrillas
18:30	from ? Uh huh . Gorillas are from the continent
18:38	of Africa . Gorillas live in a part of Africa
18:45	called Sub Saharan Africa . You might be wondering well
18:50	what is Sub Saharan Africa ? Yeah . Well the
18:56	northern part of Africa is made up of something called
19:00	the Sahara . It is a famous desert often called
19:04	the great desert . It is one of the largest
19:06	deserts in the world . It is so huge that
19:09	it is similar to the size of the entire United
19:13	States . Mhm . Sub Saharan africa is the area
19:19	of africa south of the Sahara . That is where
19:23	gorillas live . Yeah , gorillas live in the forests
19:30	of africa . Some live in the tropical forests of
19:34	sub Saharan africa , while others live in the sub
19:38	tropical forests . So if anyone asks you where gorillas
19:42	live , first of all , ask them , hey
19:45	, are you a fan of gorillas ? Do you
19:46	think they're pretty cool and then let them know that
19:48	gorillas live in the forests of sub Saharan africa .
19:56	Oh wow , okay . Here is a really interesting
19:59	fact about gorillas , just like humans , baby gorillas
20:07	are called infants . That's right . No , so
20:11	cute . Sweet little infants . These infants are super
20:15	cute and unlike human babies , they don't wear diapers
20:19	, okay , they don't and if they did ,
20:21	I wouldn't want to change them . Okay , wow
20:27	, okay , infants are cared for by their mothers
20:35	. The mother is the main caregiver in the infants
20:39	life . The main role of the father is to
20:41	protect the mother and the infant . Hey , this
20:48	is pretty cool . Gorillas live in groups called troops
20:52	. Isn't that interesting ? A group of gorillas is
20:55	called a Troop . Troops are normally led by a
21:03	gorilla called a Silverback . A silverback is a mature
21:07	male gorilla . When male gorillas get older , some
21:11	of the hair on their back turns the color silver
21:14	. Usually a troop is led by one silver bag
21:17	and the rest of the troop is made up of
21:20	female gorillas and their Children . There are examples of
21:28	troops that have more than one silver back , but
21:31	that is more rare . Typically there is one silver
21:34	back gorilla that leads the troop and protects the female
21:38	gorillas and the Children . Silverbacks are willing to give
21:43	up their lives for the troop and are very brave
21:49	. Okay , get ready for a shocking fact about
21:53	gorillas . Okay , it's going to shock you affect
21:56	so shocking . You will have to share it with
21:58	your friends and your family . Did you know ,
22:04	gorillas don't usually drink water ? That's right . Gorillas
22:09	don't usually drink water . Gorillas eat so much vegetation
22:13	that is rich in water that they typically get all
22:17	of the water they need from their food . Gorillas
22:20	love eating plants and vegetation when they eat plants in
22:25	the morning , the plants have the morning dew on
22:27	them , which brings even more water into their system
22:31	. While gorillas have the ability to drink water and
22:34	under some circumstances will , they usually get all of
22:38	their water from the vegetation they eat . Wow !
22:44	So gorillas eat a lot of vegetation . They live
22:48	in troops . They are the largest apes in the
22:51	world . And they live in sub Saharan africa .
22:56	Mm All right now let's talk about how gorillas get
23:01	from place to place . They walk in a very
23:04	special way . Gorillas walk on their knuckles . It's
23:08	called knuckle walking . Have you ever walked using your
23:13	knuckles ? It hurts after a while , doesn't it
23:17	? It doesn't happen often , but guerrillas sometimes walk
23:21	on their two ft . Like we do if they
23:23	need to carry something or in a situation where they
23:27	feel threatened otherwise they walk on their knuckles . Mhm
23:33	. Gorillas are known for how they walk , but
23:36	they are also known for how smart they are .
23:39	Gorillas are such intelligent animals . They can create and
23:44	use their own tools . They are able to think
23:47	about the past and the future and have shown an
23:51	ability to learn and to use sign language . Oh
23:58	, Perhaps the most famous Gorilla ever was a gorilla
24:02	named Koko . She recognized about 2000 English words and
24:08	used sign language incredibly well . She died in June
24:13	2018 , just two months before we made this video
24:17	. Not only did she teach us a lot about
24:20	gorillas , but she made lasting friendships with those who
24:24	worked with her , she was an amazing gorilla .
24:29	Part of what makes guerrillas so special to work with
24:32	is not just their incredible intelligence but also their emotions
24:37	, guerrillas laugh and cry just like we do .
24:41	They form special bonds with family and they care deeply
24:45	about family and friends . Gorillas are awesome . Unfortunately
24:53	, gorillas are critically endangered and have to be protected
24:58	. There are laws that protect gorillas and many organizations
25:02	that work day in and day out to make sure
25:05	gorilla populations stay healthy and strong . We hope you're
25:12	having fun learning with us . Next we are learning
25:15	about polar bears . Cool polar bears are huge bears
25:22	that love the cold . They love the cold .
25:29	They live inside an area of the globe called the
25:33	arctic circle . You can see it right here on
25:36	this map . If you were to look straight down
25:39	at a globe , that area at the very top
25:42	is the area of the globe in the arctic circle
25:47	. Okay , now this is interesting . Only about
25:51	four million people live within the arctic circle . It
25:55	can be a difficult place to live because it's so
25:58	incredibly cold , but it is the perfect place for
26:05	polar bears . Polar bears love the cold which is
26:08	why the arctic circle it's the perfect home for these
26:11	amazing bears . Oh look at these two polar bears
26:15	, their friends , their friends just play nice play
26:18	nice polar bears . You may know this already ,
26:24	but polar bears don't just live in the arctic circle
26:29	. There are polar bears that live in other parts
26:32	of the world in captivity . That means they live
26:35	in places like the zoo habitats that human beings create
26:40	. We're going to share more about this later in
26:43	this video for now . We need your help with
26:48	an easy question . Can you help us ? What
26:51	color are polar bears ? Yeah . What color are
26:55	they ? Uh Yeah , they're the color white .
26:59	They're the color white . Now we have another question
27:05	for you . What color is there for ? Mm
27:10	Did you guess white ? A lot of people think
27:14	that polar bear fur is white because that is what
27:17	it looks like to us . But polar bear fur
27:23	isn't white . It is clear . Polar bear fur
27:26	is actually clear . That's right . So why does
27:30	polar bear fur look white to us ? Because not
27:36	only is polar bear for clear , it is translucent
27:41	, wow , what a word , translucent Can you
27:45	say translucent impress somebody today and say polar bear fur
27:50	is translucent . What does translucent mean ? Well ,
27:54	translucent means light can pass through it . Light passes
27:59	through the polar bear . For how cool is that
28:04	? Isn't that incredible ? Light passes through the fur
28:09	and the fur reflects the light ? A polar bears
28:12	for always reflects light . Which is why there for
28:16	looks white . That is why a polar bear looks
28:20	white . Why it's a white bear ? Because the
28:23	light is passing through the fur and the fur is
28:27	reflecting the light pretty cool . Earlier we said that
28:33	polar bears are huge , but just how huge are
28:37	they ? Yeah , let's put it this way .
28:41	Polar bears are the largest land carnivores in the world
28:46	. That's right . Polar bears are the largest land
28:50	carnivores in the world . A carnivore is an animal
28:54	that eats meat . Male Polar bears can weigh up
29:01	to £1,500. . Female polar bears can weigh as many
29:06	as £1,000. . Polar bears are tall . To polar
29:14	bears could be as tall as 10 ft 10 ft
29:19	. Polar bears are massive . No wonder they are
29:22	the largest land carnivores in the world . Mm Part
29:31	of what makes them so big as their eating habits
29:34	. Their favorite food is seal meat . They love
29:38	eating seals . Polar bears love eating seals . They
29:42	can also eat walrus says beluga , whales or any
29:46	other meat they can find . Look at these poor
29:51	little seals , just relaxing . Don't you realize the
29:55	polar back and accommodate you up ? You look like
29:58	a snack . It looks like you're even on a
30:00	blank look out seals . Oh , that was a
30:07	close one . But let's switch the subject . Let's
30:09	talk about polar bear babies , just like other baby
30:16	bears . Baby polar bears are called cubs . Aren't
30:20	they cute ? These two cubs are playing . They're
30:22	so playful , cubs start out only weighing a pound
30:26	or two , but they grow quickly . Yeah ,
30:31	this is pretty cool mama . Polar bears teach cubs
30:35	their way of life and how to survive . You
30:38	know , tips on how to eat as many seals
30:41	as you can . You know , there were a
30:42	lot of them just kind of hanging out earlier .
30:45	You should go check those , you know , seals
30:47	out . They also teach their Cubs one of a
30:53	polar bear's favorite activities . Swimming . This is so
31:01	awesome . You may not realize this , but polar
31:03	bears are amazing swimmers . They're grey at swimming .
31:08	They can swim for miles and miles and they not
31:11	only swim to get from here to there , but
31:13	they also swim to relax to cool down . It's
31:17	amazing . They're great swimmers . It's official polar bears
31:23	are super cool . They are super cool . Yeah
31:27	. Yeah . Check this out . We learned that
31:32	polar bears are the largest land carnivores in the world
31:36	. They are huge . Mhm . They live in
31:41	the arctic circle which is perfect because they love the
31:45	cold . We learned they have translucent for this .
31:52	Amazing for that allows light to pass through it and
31:56	it reflects that light . And that's why they look
31:59	white . That's why they look like white bears .
32:03	We learned polar bears love to eat seals , look
32:11	out seals , you look like a polar bear snack
32:14	. You look like a polar bear snack . And
32:18	we learned they are great swimmers . They can swim
32:22	for miles and miles , not just to get from
32:24	here to there , but they really enjoy it .
32:26	Sometimes they swim just to cool down and relax .
32:31	Mhm . Okay . We have one last fact that
32:35	this fact is really important . Polar bears are considered
32:39	a threatened species . Rising global temperatures have caused a
32:43	decline in the polar bear's natural habitat in the arctic
32:48	. We mentioned earlier that polar bears live in captivity
32:51	in different parts of the world and places like zoos
32:54	. But life in captivity isn't the same as life
32:57	in the wild . The awesome thing is that there
33:02	are organizations that are working to protect polar bears .
33:06	We want these amazing animals to live happy , healthy
33:09	lives in their arctic home . Mhm . Finally we
33:15	are going to learn about jag wires . Whoa ,
33:19	jag wires , Are you ready ? All right ,
33:22	let's begin . So what are jag wires ? Well
33:28	, jaguars are wild cats that live in the Americas
33:33	? Yeah . Now you might be wondering where in
33:36	the Americas do jaguars live ? That's a good question
33:42	. Yeah . Well jaguars live in the southwestern United
33:47	States , Central America and south America . Seeing jaguars
33:52	in the Southwestern United States is rare , but it
33:56	does happen . Jaguars have been seen in California ,
34:00	Arizona and texas , but most jaguars live in central
34:04	and south America . One of the things that jaguars
34:10	are famous for is their size . That's right .
34:14	Jag wires are the largest cats in north and south
34:19	America . They are huge . Jaguars can weigh over
34:27	300 lb . That's right . A lot of their
34:30	weight is muscle . These are really strong cats .
34:36	Hey , they even have more muscles than you billy
34:42	. For example , the muscles in their Jaw are
34:45	so powerful , they can bite through a skull .
34:48	That's right . They have one of the most powerful
34:52	bites in the cat world . Their jaws are strong
34:55	enough to drag as many as £800 across the ground
35:00	. That's so strong , wow ! Next , we
35:06	are going to talk about what jaguars look like Besides
35:09	just cool . They do look cool . Don't be
35:15	jealous . Mr whiskers . Okay , you look cool
35:18	too . Most jag wires have a coat that looks
35:25	like a blend between orange and yellow , with lots
35:28	of spots , spots near the neck and head are
35:32	solid . The rest of the spots are generally more
35:35	colorful with brown inside . Mhm . You might have
35:41	realized this already , but jaguars look very similar to
35:44	leopards . It can be hard to tell the difference
35:47	between the two . A lot of people don't know
35:49	the difference between the two , but not . You
35:52	were going to share an easy way to tell a
35:55	jaguar from a leopard . It's all about the spots
36:01	. The spots on jaguars and leopards are called rosettes
36:05	. That's right . Rosettes . That's an interesting name
36:08	, isn't it ? They are called rosettes because they
36:14	are shaped like roses . That makes sense . So
36:19	what is the easy way you can tell the difference
36:22	between jaguars and leopards ? Well , jaguars have much
36:26	bigger rosettes . Not only that , but the rosettes
36:29	have black dots in them leopards have many more rosettes
36:34	than jaguars , but they are much smaller and do
36:37	not have the dots inside of them . There is
36:39	also a size difference . Jaguars are much bigger and
36:43	stronger than leopards . There are other differences , too
36:46	, but those are the main ones . So the
36:52	easiest way to spot the difference between a jaguar and
36:55	a leopard is looking at their rosettes . But why
36:59	do they even have rosettes ? What's the purpose ?
37:01	Well , rosettes are found on other types of cats
37:04	as well . Not just jaguars and leopards , but
37:07	why do they have them ? That's a great question
37:11	. Well , rosettes are important because they help a
37:14	cat camouflage . Part of what makes jaguars so tricky
37:19	to find in the wild is the fact that they
37:21	have these huge rosettes on their coats . We just
37:28	finished talking about what jag wires look like . And
37:32	while most jaguars look like that , some jag wires
37:36	don't . Yeah , there are jaguars that actually have
37:42	a black coat . That's right . They have rosettes
37:46	too , but it is usually really hard to see
37:49	them . These jag wires are called melon ist IQ
37:53	jaguars , melon ist IQ Jag wires . Can you
37:57	say that ? Yeah , melon ist IQ jag wires
38:01	. It means they have a dark colored coat .
38:07	There is a different name that most people call melon
38:10	ist IQ jaguars ? What do you think that is
38:14	? Yeah , melon ist IQ Jag wires are usually
38:18	called black panthers . Black panthers found in central and
38:26	south America are melon ist IQ jaguars . Black panthers
38:30	that live in africa and asia are actually melon ist
38:34	IQ leopards . Black panthers are not their own species
38:39	. Black panthers are either leopards or jaguars . These
38:45	black jaguars , commonly called black panthers do very well
38:50	in the wild . They use their black coats to
38:53	their advantage by hunting at night . It is very
38:57	difficult to see a black panther while it is hunting
39:02	. Yeah . If you want to impress someone the
39:07	next time you hear about black panthers , just let
39:10	them know . Black panthers that live in central and
39:14	south America are actually melon ist IQ jaguars . If
39:18	they don't believe you , you can invite them to
39:20	look it up and they'll be like , what are
39:23	you an animal expert ? The next thing we want
39:28	to learn about our jag wire babies . Yeah .
39:31	So cute jaguar babies are called cubs . That's right
39:36	, cubs are born blind and can't see until they
39:41	are two weeks old . Jaguar cubs stay in the
39:45	same den that they were born in until they are
39:48	about six months old . Then a jaguar cub is
39:52	ready to go hunting with mommy . Once jaguars are
39:59	fully grown , they are usually very solitary . They
40:02	like to hunt and do things on their own .
40:07	Jag wires are hunters through and through . They not
40:11	only hunt on land but can hunt in the water
40:14	to . They are great swimmers . Whatever they catch
40:17	, doesn't have much of a chance . Remember what
40:20	we shared about the jaw of a jag wire ?
40:23	It can bite through a skull . Mhm . The
40:29	final fact we are going to talk about is sad
40:32	. The jaguar population has been declining and jaguars are
40:37	now considered nearly threatened . Like many other animals around
40:44	the world , jaguars have suffered because of deforestation .
40:49	Jaguars are also hunted by people . A problem that
40:52	has been difficult to stop . If the jaguar population
40:55	isn't protected , they might become a threatened species .
41:01	We hope you've enjoyed learning about animals around the world
41:04	with us , protecting animals , like the ones you
41:07	learned about is so important . These animals truly are
