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 | |
