Have you ever wondered why mandrills have such colourful faces, why vultures are bald, or even why hammerheads have, well, hammer-shaped heads? Discover how animals managed to survive by evolving from the neck up.
In geological and biological scales, humans have only been around for the blink of an eye, and yet we’ve managed to influence the evolutionary path for many animals. Explore the human impact on dogs, wolves, coyotes, elephants, and more.
Some of the most interesting adaptations in the animal world are completely invisible. Study these hidden, internal alterations to see how different animals have evolved to survive in amazing and unseen ways.
Why do zebras have stripes? How do penguins see underwater? And why are a tree frog’s eyes red? In this exploration of sight, discover how some animals have evolved to see extremely well while others have evolved to be nearly invisible.
Cooperation comes in many forms. Some animals cooperate to be social while others put the welfare of the group above their own reproductive potential. See the many ways species have evolved to work with one another in order to survive.
Some call them “living fossils,” but that's just another way to say survivors. From the shark to the horseshoe crab, these animals' early adaptations were a success, leaving them relatively unchanged for millions of years.
