Animal Behavior and Physiology

Amanda from the Kentucky Science Center presents a video exploring various animal skulls, including those of a grizzly bear, anteater, beaver, and dolphin. Each skull is examined for its unique features and adaptations, such as the grizzly bear's omnivorous teeth, the anteater's long tongue, the beaver's ever-growing teeth, and the dolphin's blowhole for breathing. The video encourages viewers to observe animals in their surroundings and share their findings.
