An experience of a lifetime. Great BIG Nature recently returned from the Galapagos and had the incredible fortune of swimming with a group of dolphins. It is a moment we wish all could experience! Watch for the full story!
You might be surprised to learn one of the loudest mammals on the planet is a lemur. It’s true. So we traveled to the forests of Madagascar's northeast region, in the Anjanaharibe-Sub wildlife preserve, to witness this phenomenon in person!
Great BIG Nature traveled to the remote Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia Canada to document the end of the Southern Most herd of Caribou in the world. This is Must watch stuff!
Jane Goodall and her son, Grub, are trying to save a hippo sanctuary in Southern Tanzania. We went to tell their incredible story and meet the man they call “The Hippo Whisperer!”

The Venezuelan Poodle Moth. This moth was recently discovered in 2009 and is said to resemble a poodle. That is, if poodles had huge wings and feathers instead of ears. So far, its taxonomy hasn’t been established, but we do know the fluff you see on its body is made of chitin, which is basically the insect equivalent of cellulose; the material that makes up the cell walls in plants. It might also surprise you to know there are over 160,000 types of moths on the planet. So, still much to learn. Connect with Nature! ... See MoreSee Less
Like many whales, the Blue Whale or Gray Whale do not have teeth, but instead relies on baleen plates to catch its prey. These plates, which are a horny form of whalebone, act like a fence... or hair net, and filters massive amounts of sea water too ultimately catch its tiny prey in the plates. Connect with Nature! ...

Ever seen ice that looks like hair? Believe it or not, it's a real thing called hair ice! This phenomenon appears in cold, damp conditions on dead wood, resembling delicate strands of ice. It's so unique, it's also nicknamed 'beard ice' or 'ice wool.' While uncommon, hair ice can mostly be spotted in broadleaf forests between 45°N and 55°N. The secret ingredient? A special fungus called Exidiopsis effusa plays a crucial role! Connect with Nature! Photo: Matthew Nichols ... See MoreSee Less
Fantastic creatures discovered 1,640 miles (2,600 km) beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean in a pristine area that’s earmarked as a site for deep-sea mining of critical and rare metals. The area is the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, and If deep-sea mining follows the same trajectory as offshore oil production, more than one-third of these critical metals will come from deep-ocean mines by 2065. Scientists believe many of the life-forms that call this environment home would unlikely recover from the extraction. It is estimated some 6,000 to 8,000 species could still be discovered in this deep water world. In these extreme ocean depths, there is no sunlight and the temperature is around 35 F (1.5 C), but life-forms such as this elegant 'glass sponge' thrive, which are thought to have the longest life span of any creature on the planet — up to 15,000 years. Along with the incredible transparent unicumber. Connect with Nature! ... See MoreSee Less
Sidewinders are noted for their unique method of locomotion. Loops of the body are thrown across the sand so that only two points are in contact with the ground at any time. This prevents the snake from overheating due to excessive contact with the desert sand. Connect with Nature! Photo: Solvin Zanki ... See MoreSee Less
