When Stephen Sillett was a boy, he took to the forests of Pennsylvania with his brother and grandmother. Looking up into the dense branches and leaves, his curiosity was piqued: What was hidden up there? Wendell Oshiro tells the story of an adult Sillett's bold (if not a little dangerous) exploration of the canopy of an ancient redwood and details some of the fascinating discoveries he made.

Uploaded 01-02-21

--

For most humans, farts are a welcome relief, an embarrassing incident, or an opportunity for a gas-based gag. But for many other creatures, farts are no laughing matter.

Nick Caruso and Dani Rabaiotti dig into the funky and foul world of animal flatulence.

Lesson by Nick Caruso and Dani Rabaiotti, directed by Avi Ofer.
