Woolly Mammoths
Secrets Form the Ice AgeBBC | Science | Nature | Animal | Mammoths
Can you imagine an elephant but with tusks at least twice the size of those born by an elephant living today? Can you imagine an elephant that covered with a thick shackle coat of hair, some of these hair are even meter in length. Can you imagine an elephant that live not in a warm as a tropics, but in the ice and snow up the north? They are the woolly Mammoth.
These majestic titan rules European Asia long before our own ancestor fell under their spell. Extinct of thousand of years, they are iconic yet mysterious. Climate change mean that the frozen north is melting faster than ever before prehistoric carcasses are emerging and from them we can unlock the secrets of these long lost beast. With the latest technology we can now answer the question about the mammoth which have long puzzled scientists. We're able to trace the evolution revealing the adaptation to one of the harshest places on the planet. And with every new find we take a step closer to answering the biggest questionable, why these magnificent animal suddenly go extinct.

The Ocean. It covers 70% of the Earth's surface and holds the very key to a life within its silent shadowy depths. Prepare to dive the depths of ocean to experience its awesome beauty and extraordinary power.
It was one home to all life on earth. The ocean still hold around 4 in 5 of all living things. Much of it's vast biomass lived and deaths that have been beyond the reach of human. Until now, deep sea technology has revealed a world of wonder. A world where exotic creatures thrive in extreme conditions where life should not exists. The pioneering exploration of this new frontier has also revealed a fragile vulnerable world.

Sky Hunters - The World of the Dragonfly
National Geographic | Animal | Science | The Secrets of NatureThey hover over ponds and pools and inhabit the banks of rivers and streams. With their dazzling metallic colours and unique ways of flying they are truly jewels of the air. Yes, they are dragonflies.
This film shows dragonflies as they have never been seen before. Fascinating close up shots take us into the world of these insects. Unbelievable enough that they have lived on earth since the age of the dinosaurs.
The spectacular super slow motion shots and elaborate computer animation uncover, for the first time, how dragonflies capture their prey at lightning speed while flying and how they mate in the air.
Underwater photography shows the development of the predatory dragonfly larvae. The fully grown dragonfly was shown in the sequence of emergence.
However, these amazingly colourful flying acrobats are in danger. Their preferred habitat places around the water are rapidly diminishing. Only in Europe alone, there has been an extinction of around 80 species because of the habitat..

Mammoth Back From the Dead
National Geographic | Science | Animal | Mammoth10,000 years ago, we shared the planet with mammoths.
Now scientist think they have the power to bring one back to life.
With unprecedented access to remote mammoth graveyards in Siberia.
All they need is one frozen, microscopic cell.
The quest to clone living breathing mammoth is one of the most expensive ambitious and ostentatious scientific undertaking ever. It starts in the heart of Siberia. Mammoths used to roam here in their hundreds of thousands making that a guide to crater one of the biggest Mammoths graveyard on the planet.
Let's watch this documentary to see how they did to bring back the Mammoth from the dead in this documentary - Mammoth Back From the Dead.

Termite are animals that don't like sunlight, some of them are blind. However, they are one of the world’s most ingenious builders. They can build high-risers 25 times higher than the Empire State Building in New York without any technical devices.
They are one kind of animal that can build an air-conditioning like system without electricity. Their nests are built with architectural masterpieces that rise up to eight meters tall from the ground and this is to dispose brood chambers for larvae, also build corridors for the transportation system, build fungal gardens for nutrition and even emergency exits to get away when there is hostile attacks.

Ant is a tiny insect that have lived on earth more than millions years. They can be found everywhere from tropical countries through the countries in the polar zone. Currently, there are millions and millions of ants and also more than 10,000 species of them. Each species has special characteristic and behaviour of their own. But the common thing all species have is that they are social animal.
Ants can live in a very big nest and they are very discipline and responsible. In one nest millions of ants could be found together and they have never quarrel. This amazing thing interested scientist a lot and they began to study life and behaviour of all these ants to find out how they can live peacefully in a very large kingdom and how they can organise such the structure in their colony. This is very amazing and very interesting, let find out what National geographic has with the ants documentary Wild City Of Ants.

Animal - Ants - National Geographic - Science
In remote Queensland, Australia, scientists are working to unravel a 100-million-year-old mystery. Their main lead is a site that holds the most remarkable set of dinosaur tracks that science has ever seen.
It reveals evidence of hundreds of prehistoric animals fleeing across mud in the only dinosaur stampeded known to man. But why did they run? One set of monstrous tracks may be proof of a previously unknown killer. Join the team as they work together, using modern technology and gut instincts to solve this ancient whodunit and gain new insights into dinosaur behaviour.

Ant is a small insects that is very mazing and interesting. They are social animals that have a very good organised system. There are 3 types of population in the ant colony. The soldier ant, the ants that have a duty to defend their nest. Worker ants, that ant that is responsible for cultivating fungus for food to serve all of the ants. And the queen ant, there is only one queen ant in the colony and it is very large. The responsibility of the queen ant is to reproduce ant population.
In order to find out how ants work so well together, scientists have created the ant's nest with leaves to study their life in their colony.
Let see what the scientist find out in the video by BBC Planet Ants - Life Inside The Colony.
