As you may know hummingbirds are the smallest birds on the planet. In Hummingbirds for Kids, you'll learn even more cool facts about these little birds! For one, there are over 350 different species of hummingbirds, making it the second-largest bird family in the world? Only 17 species of hummingbird live in the United States. The rest live in Central and South Americas. And they're the only bird that can fly backward.

Hummingbirds get their energy from the nectar of flowers, or from nectar people make themselves using water and sugar. Because they have such a fast metabolism, hummingbirds have to eat all day long! They can't live just on sugar, though. They need protein, minerals, and vitamins, which they get by eating small bugs.

These little birds are well known for their great courage. The ancient Aztecs would wear necklaces made of hummingbird feathers before going into battle. They believed the hummingbird represented courage and power. Despite their small size, they defend their territories against larger birds.

What's the difference between a wildcat and a wild cat? Well, you could probably say you own a wild cat as a pet because of its crazy personality. But yours would not be considered a wildcat. In this video, you and your kids will learn interesting facts about a group of species that scientists call wildcats, such as tigers, lions, jaguars, cheetahs, and leopards.

Wildcats are carnivorous, so they eat a lot of meat. They have excellent eyesight and hearing to help them find and capture their prey. Their diet includes antelopes, rabbits, giraffes, and even reptiles for some of them. Wildcats that live near human settlements often prey on poultry like ducks and geese.

These majestic animals are part of every culture and can be found on the oldest of cave drawings. They are often the face of companies and sports teams as mascots. Sadly, lots of wildcat species are endangered, and many others are vulnerable or near threatened. Their populations are declining because of habitat loss. Sometimes, habitat loss happens naturally, but in most cases, it's because of the increased use of land by humans for homes, buildings, and roads.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these cool cats! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans about animals, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Did you know gorillas are as strong as bulldozers? In fact, they are one of the strongest animals on the planet! In Gorillas for Kids, you'll learn exactly why that is. Gorillas use their strong arms and hands to gather food and build comfortable nests for resting. This strength also helps them swing from tree branches and move through their thick forest homes. And, of course, it helps them protect the troop, maintain order, and defend their territory.

When it comes to hygiene, gorillas are experts at grooming each other. Grooming is when an animal carefully cleans the fur of other group members. Gorillas use their fingers to pick out dirt, leaves, and parasites from each other's fur. This grooming behavior serves several vital purposes. First, it helps gorillas build and strengthen their social bonds. Second, it helps gorillas stay healthy and clean. Through grooming, they can avoid infections and keep their coats in good condition.

Gorillas are wonderful parents. They treat their young ones with a lot of care and love. Baby gorillas are called infants, and their moms are very protective of them. Moms carry their infants on their backs to keep them close. As the young gorillas grow, they learn essential things from their moms and the rest of the troop, such as what to eat and how to behave. This helps them grow up strong and prepares them to live on their own in the forest one day.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about such interesting apes! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans about animals, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

What are you waiting for? Did you now that the fastest bird is the peregrine hawk? This bird of prey can reach up to 400 kilometers per hour whist free falling. Wow it’s so fast, poor dove if it were to cross its path…

On the other hand, the American Woodcock is the slowest bird on the planet, flying at a mere speed of 8 km per hour. Oh, check out
it´s cute little babies!

And did you know that the fastest land bird is the ostrich? This huge bird, actually the largest in the world, cannot fly but can reach up to 70 kilometers per hour…running…it’s faster than a moped!
This tiny hummingbird also holds an impressive record. Besides being the smallest bird, it can also flap its wings 200 times per second or in other words, 12 thousand times in a minute…incredible! They beat so fast that you can hardly even see them, and it looks like they are floating in the air whilst eating…

Did you know that the penguin is the aquatic bird champion? Penguins don’t fly and on land are rather clumsy, but they are incredible in the water. Some species can reach the speed of…36 kilometers per hour. They swim four times faster than a person can…but the most impressive penguin is the emperor penguin. A person can dive to the depth of 260 meters whereas this penguin species dives 535 meters deep and can hold its breath for 5 to 18 minutes. It’s a bird, it has a beak and feathers but it seems as if it wants to be a fish…

Now we have learnt a few records and fascinating facts about birds. The truth is it is beautiful observing them fly in the sky or swim in the sea but as we are always reminding you in Happy Learning, so as to continue enjoying them, we must look after our environment; do not contaminate the air, the sky, the rivers and seas. We must take care of our nature and all that is around us, and like that we will be able to live in a happier world.

What are you waiting for? The dolphin, a very friendly mammal

Hello friends, and welcome to a new Happy Learning video. Today we are going to learn about one of the most friendly and fun mammals, presenting the dolphin.

Dolphins are aquatic mammals which live in most seas around the world.

Dolphins have a dorsal fin on the top part of their body and two lateral fins as well as a flat tail called a fluke, which they use to beat the water in an up and down motion, allowing them to swim at great speeds as well as completing agile jumps out of the water.

Did you know that dolphins don't have a nose? They have a beak and they breathe through a hole above their head. Can you see it? well this hole is called the blow hole and they close it every time they go under water so as not to let water come into their lungs.

Dolphins can submerge themselves up to 300 meters deep and can hold their breath for almost 25 minutes!

Do you know how dolphins sleep? It is really curious...because they sleep...in sections. First half of their brain and half of their body goes to sleep and when that part wakes up, the other half goes to sleep. It is for this reason that they sleep with one eye open, always aware of what is going on around them. Like this they are always alert...

Dolphins belong to the cetaceous family, like whales.
The average length of a dolphin is around 4 and a half meters, which is the length of normal car and they weigh about 300 kilos.

For orientation, dolphins use a system called echolocation. The sounds the dolphins emit travels through water until it rebounds off an object found in its path, and sends it back to the dolphin. Now the dolphins can calculate how far away the object is, its size and also its shape.

Dolphins are carnivorous, their main source of food is based on crustaceans, fish, squid and octopus.

Dolphins just like all mammals are viviparous and the gestation of a baby takes 12 months. During the first month of a baby´s life, it feeds on the mother's milk and then the baby is taught how to hunt by other members of its family.
Dolphins are not scared of humans and when they encounter them, they are very friendly. They are really playful and curious animals.
Dolphins tend to live in a group and are extremely intelligent. As they are together in a group they help each other by defending off sharks and orcas by butting them with their strong beak.

But do you know what the dolphin´s biggest problem is? The humans. It is because of humans hunting them and contaminating the waters which is causing many dolphins to die. Many dolphins have been trapped in fishermen's nets or suffocated with plastic bags and rubbish which has been thrown in the sea, but this is a problem happening not just for dolphins but for many other marine species, such as turtles and seals. It is for this reason that it is just so important to look after our seas and oceans and that we should never, ever, ever, throw anything into the water.

If we maintain nature clean, dolphins as well as all other living creatures will be very happy.

Hi Children, in this educational video we are going to learn another interesting animal, the chameleon, a multi-coloured reptile.
The chameleon is one of nature’s most curious reptiles, its capable of changing colour to camouflage, or to say, it can change its colour to match that of its surroundings, so no predators can see it… Look, look, try to find it…
The chameleon, like all reptiles, has a body that is completely covered in hard scales that protect him from its enemies, but they have a characteristic that makes them very special in comparison to other reptiles, do you know which one it is?
As you have discovered by looking at the images, chameleon’s eyes are very special. They are cone shaped and in the centre they have a hole where the pupil peeks out. The cone shape allows them to easily rotate their eyes completely in any direction. They can also move each eye independently, and that is why they have a 360 view, which is to say they can see everything that is happening around them without moving their head. But everything good that they have in their sight is bad in their hearing, why though? Why do you think that is?

As you can see they don’t have any ears and its believed they are deaf.
As we have already said the fundamental characteristic a chameleon has is that it can change its skin colour to adapt to its surrounding. However the colour change also depends on its emotional state… if they are angry… if they are scared or in love.
Another characteristic that surprises everyone is their way of hunting. Chameleons, like crocodiles, snakes and the majority of reptiles are carnivorous… which is why they need to hunt to survive.
The chameleons hunt their pray with their tongs. Their tongue is very long and can be deployed very rapidly. Its tip is sticky and when it touches its prey it sticks to it, making it very easy to then eat them. Chameleons feed mainly on insects although sometimes they can eat in small mammals or birds.

The truth is that chameleons are very extraordinary animals, don’t you think?

What are you waiting for? Hi kids, today we are going to meet the bear, a very special mammal, who is very cute.
As you can see in the video the majority of bears have a very big and chubby body, with short legs and a long snout.
Like most mammals, its body is covered in hair. A bear’s fur can vary a lot in colour. It can go from snow white like a polar bear, to Brown like this grizzly bear, or to White and black like these friendly panda bears.

Although bears are very heavy and big animals, they are very capable of climbing trees with a lot of agility, however this is not always the case. They are also very competent swimmers.

Bears are omnivorous animals; they eat meat and vegetables, like us humans, however they are much greedier. The panda bear, for example, spends twelve hours a day eating bamboo and we all know how much the majority of bears love honey. To obtain most of the food they eat, they use their very developed sense of smell, it’s even better than a dogs.
There is a very special characteristic that bears have that converts them into a very interesting animal.
When the cold arrives in the freezing winter the majority of bears hibernate. They spend every day sleeping, they don’t wake up, they don’t eat, they don’t sleep, they dot drink and they don’t even poo… They live of the fat they accumulated during spring, summer and autumn. That is why they are so greedy, because they have to eat enough during these seasons, so that they can sleep all Winter.
Like all mammals, bears are viviparous, that is to say they are born form their mothers womb and the baby bears are also born without hair, teeth and are blind.
Bears are hunted for their fur, as coats and carpets can be made from them, and this is why they are in danger of extinction. If we don’t take care of them they can completely disappear from the face of the earth or they would only be able to remain in zoos.

An ability that bears have that always catches everyone’s attention is that they can stand on their back legs. This can be a very terrifying show as they can appear huge when they do so.
The most common bear is the grizzly bear; they can measure up to approximately three meters and weigh about 1477 pounds. It’s a lot, isn’t it?
Well know you now a bit more a bout bears, and even though they are not very lovable, they are super interesting!

Educational Videos and songs for Kids. Today we’re going to learn about mammals!
The diversity of mammals is amazing. They can be as huge as these whales,or as tiny as this cute little balancing mouse. They can be noisy like this howler monkey, or quiet like this hedgehog with its sharp, pointy spines.
Even though they’re amazingly diverse, all mammals have a number of common characteristics you should know about, so you can recognize and differentiate them.
All mammals are viviparous, they are born from their mothers’ womb. In their early stages of life, they feed on milk, which they get from their mothers' breasts where the mammary glands are. And that’s why they’re called mammals. And when they’re little, they’re so cute, aren’t they?
Mammals reproduce by internal fertilization when a sperm cell and an egg join inside the female.
As you can see, they have teeth inside their mouths, and lips around them so they can eat and suck milk.
Most mammals’ bodies are covered with hair, and all mammals breathe with their lungs, even if they live in the sea. Look at these dolphins coming to the surface for air.
The body temperature of mammals doesn’t depend on whether it’s cold or hot outside, because they can maintain their own internal temperature.
Almost all mammals are terrestrial, like camels, and jaguars. Some live in the sea and are called Marine mammals,like these dolphins,and these seals,There's even a flying mammal, bats are the only mammal that flies.
Mammals have four limbs, which vary depending on where they live. Land mammals have legs,so they can walk,and run when they need to,and Jump.,and sometimes even climb.
Marine mammals have fins so they can swim very fast...
And flying mammals have wings so they can fly through the sky...
Do you know which is the most wonderful mammal that lives on Earth?Human beings! People are mammals too...

How mammals feed
Depending on what they eat, mammals can be classified into different groups.
Herbivores only eat plants and their teeth are especially designed for grinding. Horses, sheep and llamas are herbivorous mammals. Some very special herbivores are called ruminants. They swallow their food almost without chewing it, and some of it is digested normally, but some of it is stored in their stomach, and when they want to, they regurgitate it into their mouth to digest it again. Cows, giraffes and goats are ruminants.
Carne means skin or meat in Latin, and that’s what carnivores eat: the flesh of other animals. Their teeth are large and sharp for hunting and tearing at their food.
Carnivores that eat insects and other invertebrates are called insectivores,like these anteaters.
Omnivorous mammals feed on both meat and plants. Bears, monkeys and humans are omnivores: we can eat a tasty burger with lettuce and tomato.
So, let's remember,
Mammals are viviparous, and in their early stages of life they feed on milk from their mother’s breasts,They have lips and breathe with their lungs,Their body temperature does not depend on the environment they are in, and depending on their food sources, they may be herbivores, carnivores or omnivores.
Easy, right?

Educational Videos and songs for Kids. Today we’re going to learn the vital functions of living things, nutrition, interaction and reproduction.

Nutrition
As you know, all living things need food, and that is the function called Nutrition. Depending on what food they eat, animals may herbivores, carnivores or omnivores. Herbivores eat plants and grasses, and they may eat the stems, roots, fruit, seeds or leaves... just like this tall giraffe is doing.
Some herbivores are very special... the ruminants... like goats and cows. They are special because they swallow their food almost without chewing it, and then store it in their stomach... Then, when they want to, they bring it back into their mouth, and chew and swallow it again... It might seem a bit disgusting to us, but that’s what ruminants do.Carnivorous animals feed on... meat.
They hunt and eat other animals so they can feed.
These animals have ferocious teeth... long, sharp claws... and, in the case of birds, very strong beaks to hunt their prey with.
Omnivores are both carnivorous and herbivorous: they eat both meat and plants... pigs and bears are omnivores. Can you guess who else is, too?... That’s right, people, human beings are also omnivores... we can we eat a roast chicken or a nice lettuce and tomato salad. Plants do not eat: they are able to manufacture the food they need within themselves, taking water and other substances from the soil

Interaction
Living things need to be aware of the environment they are in to know what happens around them and to react to it. This function is called Interaction. Look at these zebras....
They are scared because they recognise the lion’s roar and know it means danger.
All the animals you see interact with each other, play, help, care about each other... but they also fight. To survive, all animals need to know about the place where they live very well, and to communicate with each other. Animals use their organs to know what is going on around them, and to react to danger.
With their eyes, they can see what’s happening;
like eagles, who have a magnificent view looking down
from the sky for something to hunt ... Oof!! Look out, it’s gonna get us! With our ears, we can hear if an animal with bad intentions is approaching... With our noses we smell if there’s tasty food anywhere near... With our skin and our sense of touch we feel the tenderness of caresses ... and of tickles.
Animals need to communicate in order to relate with each other.
Many do so through smells; others, like this chameleon, change their colors. Others, like this noisy squirrel, communicate through sound. Although they don’t move around, and don’t have eyes,
or a nose or any other sense organ, plants also interact.
When they perceive the sunlight, their stems move and grow towards it.

Reproduction
The last function is Reproduction. This allows living things to make new living things, and so they ensure the continuity of life... aren’t these babies adorable ?? Animals have two ways of reproducing... They may be oviparous or viviparous.... Oviparous animals, like birds, turtles or these little crocs, hatch from eggs.
Viviparous animals are born from the womb of their mothers, like these dolphins, giraffes and humans.
Plants have many ways of reproducing, but most do it through their seeds; these seeds fall to the ground, germinate and give life to a new plant. So now you know the three vital functions.

Educational Videos and songs for Kids. Today we’re going to learn about reptiles!
Reptiles are vertebrate animals which are characterized by their special way of moving: many move by dragging their tummy, or abdomen, on or close to the ground; their name,
in Latin, means just that: reptar mean to crawl or slither.
Many are terrestrial, but there are also some that live in water.
All reptiles have a number of characteristics we should know about so we can recognize them. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals
that breathe with their lungs.
They are oviparous, that is they reproduce by eggs; when the eggs develop and hatch, the babies are just like their parents...
but very small. Aren’t they cute?
As you can see, reptiles’ skin is covered with strong, tough scales, and some, like tortoises, even have a shell. It looks like he has his house on his back, doesn’t it?
As for feeding well, most reptiles are carnivorous... They hunt,
like this crocodile which has just eaten this poor rodent;
or this cute chameleon, with its long, sticky tongue that catches all kinds of insects... Look, look! As we said already,
most reptiles are carnivorous, but some, like this iguana, are herbivorous.
There are lots of interesting things you should know about reptiles,
such as: most snakes have venom in their fangs...
But they’re not as bad as they seem, because they warn us of danger with their bright colors or the sound of their rattles.
Chameleons are very curious: they can change color, copying the landscape around them they blend in with the background so no-one can see them, and they become almost invisible.
So let’s remember the most important characteristics of reptiles.
Reptiles walk by dragging their tummy on or close to the ground;
they are oviparous and their body is covered with strong, hard scales...
They are vertebrates and are cold-blooded... And remember, they breathe with their lungs. Reptiles really are quite interesting, aren’t they? Well, goodbye for now everyone,

Hello friends! Welcome to a new Happy Learning video.
Did you know, that for every four animals in the wild, three of them are insects? We calculate that for every human being, there are 200 million insects… We are surrounded by insects, so I think it’s important to to get to know them a little more.

Insects are invertebrate animals that have a share a number of characteristics:
Their body is divided into: head, thorax and abdomen, they have two antennae, six legs and they breathe through their traquea.

From the moment they are born, insects undergo a series of body changes called metamorphoses. Most insects are oviparous, and maggots are born from the eggs. As you can see in the images, they don’t look anything like their parents, they look like worms.
When they grow, they enclose themselves in a cocoon they make with a substance called silk. Inside the cocoon, they undergo an incredible change in their bodies and they exit as adult insects. This metamorphosis stage is called pupa, although when referring to butterflies we also call it chrysalis. This type of metamorphosis happens for 80% of the insects.

The large majority of insects have wings, in fact, they are the only group of invertebrates that can fly.

Another shared characteristic amongst insects is that they have almost perfect vision. They have compound eyes, it’s as if they had hundreds of tiny eyes in each eye, which provides excellent peripheral vision.

As we said before, there are so many insects, and there are also maaany types:
There are very annoying insects, like head lice, flies or mosquitos, interesting insects because of their shape, like stick insects, or leaf insects. Beautiful ones like butterflies or dragonflies, or singer insects like a grasshopper or cricket, that besides from singing is an excellent jumper! But… Do you know my favorite insect? It’s a bee! Because i love the honey they make!

Some insects, like ants or bees, live in highly organised societies, where they each have a job assigned. The Queen ant, for example, is in charge of laying eggs, drone ants protect the nest and worker ants are in charge of getting food and taking care of maggots.

The truth is, insects are incredible and although by their size they might seem unimportant, they are fundamental for nature’s balance. For example, they are in charge, along with some birdies, of pollination. Some insects, like my beloved bees, are constantly flying from flower to flower, transporting pollen from one flower to the next, fertilising them, which makes new amazing plants, come to life!

The truth is most insects, like most living things, are marvelous. Don’t you think?
