Whale poop acts like a super charged power-up for the ocean. When whales feed from the bottom of the ocean they pick up important nutrients, like nitrogen. These nutrients then get shared with other living organisms through the whale’s poop, helping to keep the ocean’s ecosystem healthy!

Many bats hunt insects by using echolocation calls, but having a great call isn’t just useful for getting dinner it also comes in handy when you’re trying to find a friend. New research in Panama has shown that some bats recognize one another by listening to these calls.

Whooping cranes have been known to fly for 10 hours, covering distances of up to 750 kilometers! They use a special combination of spiraling and gliding that keeps their energy usage to a minimum. If you’ve never seen a whooping crane in flight, look up at the sky and keep your eyes peeled because they are making a come back. Although these birds are endangered, their populations have been climbing since 1967 in part because of conservation efforts in Canadian and America. If you don’t have time to sit watching the skies all day, check out this video showing these beautiful birds in flight.

Can you tell if someone is near you just by their smell? Well the North American Bison can. Their sense of smell is so good that they can tell the difference between smells from up to 3 kilometres away! This sense of smell comes in really handy when they are trying to figure out if predators are near by. Bison have poor eyesight but with their amazing sense of smell they can take one whiff and make a clean getaway. To get the full bison experience, join the herd, by running alongside these massive mammals in this video

Pit stop! Almost half of all the birds in North America rely on the boreal forest at some point during the year. About 3 billions birds use the forest for breeding and about 300 million stop by during migration. Some birds like woodpeckers, owls, ravens and finches live in the forest all year because they have adapted to the winter climate.

A common tree in Africa (Acacia drepanolobium) is being protected from elephants by ants! Even though elephants love to eat these trees they usually stay away from them because ants will swarm any animal that attacks their wooded friend.
