Even though dolphins live in the sea and swim, they are actually
mammals. This means that they are closer related to us than they are to fish! Dolphins are extremely intelligent, sociable animals and belong to the same family as whales and killer whales. Being mammals, these animals breathe with the help of lungs and exhale through a blowhole at the top of their heads.

Worshiped as a symbol of life in ancient Egypt, and coveted by sea captains and farmers for centuries, the cat is one of the most beloved animal in history. Through the ages, it was the cat's extraordinary ability to hunt and kill rodents that endeared it to humans. Today, cats are adored for their beauty and unique personalities. Nevertheless, the soul of a killer still lurks inside every kitty. In the time it takes to watch this film, house cats in the U.S. will catch as many as 100,000 small mammals and more than 30,000 birds. From the county parks of Florida to the outback of Australia, domestic cats and their feral cousins are stalking some creatures to the brink of extinction. What is your cat doing when it slips out of the house? You'll learn more about your pet than you might want to know! (53:31)

This seven-part documentary explains why Charles Darwin’s dangerous idea is so important today, and how it explains the past and predicts the future.
What underlies the incredible diversity of life on Earth? How have complex life forms evolved?
The journey from water to land, the return of land mammals to the sea, and the emergence of humans all suggest that creatures past and present are members of a single tree of life.

(CAUTION: The word 'hell' is used in the first 4 minutes.) The Earth might seem solid beneath our feet but five billion years ago there was no sign of the planet we call home. Instead there was only a new star and a cloud of dust in our solar system. Over millions of years, a series of violent changes led to the formation of our world and, eventually, the creation of life. In this photo-realistic CGI epic, see how a boiling ball of rock transformed into the blue planet we know today. Explore every aspect of our world; learn how water first arrived on Earth, discover the vital role oxygen played as life forms began to evolve, and find out how land mammals evolved into dinosaurs and other giant beasts, before becoming extinct 65 million years ago. (01:30:00) Cutting-edge imagery also reveals how humans first began to walk on two feet and looks into the future to see what may be in store for our home over the next five billion years.

This video segment from Between the Lions is a non-fiction piece about what you would do "if you were a blue whale." The video states that blue whales are not fish, but are mammals -- mammals have mothers who feed their babies milk. Mammals can live on land and in the ocean. Baby blue whales drink 100 gallons of milk a day, and when they get bigger they eat five tons of krill. Blue whales breathe out through blowholes and grow until they're as long as three school buses. Some vocabulary terms used are: mammal, krill, and blowholes. This video segment provides a resource for Text Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Language and Vocabulary Development. (01:05)
