🧠Brendan Rogers and Jessica Howard
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In June 2022, a gold miner in the Canadian Yukon made a remarkable discovery. While working on the traditional lands of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation, he uncovered the exceptionally well-preserved, frozen remains of a wooly mammoth calf that died 30,000 years ago. And this find isn't the only of its kind. Brendan Rogers and Jessica Howard uncover secrets buried in the Arctic permafrost.

👁How horses changed history
🧠William T. Taylor
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣People have been captivated by horses for a long time. They appear more than any other animal in cave paintings dating back 30,000 years. But how did horses make the journey from wild animals to ones humans could hitch themselves to and even ride? William T. Taylor explores how the domestication of horses influenced the fate of entire civilizations and dramatically altered human history. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁Why do women have periods?
🧠TED-Ed
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣A handful of species on Earth share a seemingly mysterious trait: a menstrual cycle. We're one of the select few mammals on Earth that menstruate, and we also do it more than any other animal, even though it's a waste of nutrients, and can be a physical inconvenience. So where's the sense in this uncommon biological process? TED-Ed describes the history and evolution of menstruation. [Directed by TED-Ed, narrated by Susan Zimmerman].

👁Can zoos actually save species from extinction?
🧠Nigel Rothfels
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣For thousands of years, native Takhi horses roamed the steppes of Central Asia. But by the late 1960s, their extinction seemed inevitable. To prevent this, scientists and zoos started a breeding program and soon began releasing new generations of Asia's ancient wild horse back into their native habitat. Nigel Rothfels explains the twists and turns of this complicated conservation effort. [Directed by Anna Benner, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Raphael Tschernuth].

👁How does this all-female species reproduce?
🧠Susan Freitas and Darren Parker
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 2021, workers at a Sardinian aquarium were stunned by the birth of a smooth-hound shark. What was shocking was that, for the last decade, the shark's mother had been living only with other females. So, how was this birth possible? And can other species reproduce this way? Susana Freitas and Darren Parker explore the phenomenon of asexual reproduction known as parthenogenesis. [Directed by Petya Zlateva, Compote Collective, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by BigBanda SoundScapers].

👁Can other animals understand death?
🧠Barbara J. King
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 2018, an orca called Tahlequah gave birth. But her daughter died within an hour. Tahlequah, however, didn't leave her body. Over the next 17 days and 1,600 kilometers, she kept it afloat atop her own. By altering her feeding and travel patterns, Tahlequah's behavior was certainly unusual. But was she mourning— or just confused? Barbara J. King explores whether nonhuman animals experience grief. [Directed by Denis Chapon, The Animation Workshop, narrated by Susan Zimmerman, music by Cem Misirlioglu].

👁Why did Megalodon go extinct?
🧠Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣20 million years ago, the ocean housed a creature so colossal that its stomach could reach volumes of almost 10,000 liters— big enough to fit an entire orca. It was the megalodon, the biggest shark to ever live. So, what was it like when megalodon ruled the seas? And what brought this formidable predator to extinction? Jack Cooper and Catalina Pimiento investigate. [Directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Cem Misirlioglu, WORKPLAYWORK].

🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

And the origins of these international invaders are just as unexpected as their impact on the Everglades. So, what exactly is threatening this biodiverse region? Kenny Coogan explores the unique and precious ecosystem. [Directed by Doug Alberts, Noodle, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Noodle].
