Wonder grows here
Short, joyful facts make it easy to pause, ask questions, and see the everyday world with brand-new eyes.
Floating together
Sea otters often hold paws while they sleep, so ocean currents don't drift them apart from each other.
Never truly gone
A resurrection plant can shrivel into a dry brown ball for years, then turn green again just hours after rain touches it.
Wrapped in wonder
A crawling caterpillar can wrap itself in a quiet little case and later emerge as an entirely new creature: a butterfly.
Accidental gardener
A squirrel buries hundreds of acorns every autumn, but forgets where it hid quite a few of them by the time spring comes.
A pouch of his own
A daddy seahorse carries the eggs in a pouch on his belly and gives birth to the babies himself.
Nature's engineer
A beaver can chew through a tree trunk in one night and use it to dam a stream into its own private pond.
Ocean singer
A humpback whale can sing a song that travels for miles through the deep blue sea.
Music made of wings
A cricket doesn't sing with its mouth at all; it makes its chirping song by rubbing a pair of special wings together.
Talking with a wiggle
A honeybee that finds a rich patch of flowers can tell her hivemates exactly where it is, just by dancing in the dark.
Extra beats
An octopus has three hearts, and one of them stops beating every time it swims.
Feelings you can see
A chameleon can flash a whole new color in seconds, not mainly to hide, but to show how it's feeling.
Quiet flyer
An owl can swoop onto a mouse in almost total darkness without making a single sound, thanks to wings built for silent flight.
