Mudskippers are actually fish, but they sure don't act like it. They breathe using special gill chambers and absorb oxygen through their skin like amphibians. Scanning the lumpy mudscape with their periscope-like eyes, they fiercely guard their burrows and leap to impress potential mates. Find out how these land-loving fish carved out a life between sea and shore — and why their strange lifestyle might not be so strange after all. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2001332/this-fish-walks-on-land-and-leaps-for-love ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: The Slimy Details Behind Banana Slug Mating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VGBy04nIjA Release The Brood!

The Slimy Details Behind Banana Slug Mating

2 черв. 2026 р.

When it comes to reproduction, banana slugs take things slow. But slow doesn’t mean boring. Banana slug mating involves swapping slime, swinging heads and some light (or heavy) biting.

Release The Brood! Roly-poly Birthing Is Intense

12 трав. 2026 р.

Roly polies aren’t insects — they’re crustaceans, and they have more in common with kangaroos than you might think. These land-dwelling isopods carry their eggs in a fluid-filled pouch on their underside, giving their young a tiny ocean to develop in until they’re ready to face the world. In this episode of Deep Look, we take a close look at how roly poly moms protect their eggs, nurture their babies, and pull off one of nature’s most surprising examples of convergent evolution. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2000948/release-the-brood-roly-poly-birthing-is-intense ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: Spotted Lanternflies are The Ultimate Party Crashers https://youtu.be/IGtbHRPcSe8 Can You Spot These Insane Camouflaged Animals? https://youtu.be/Gpvc5ZX5B08 We Made The Stuff That Makes Fireflies Glow In A Lab https://youtu.be/fbuJSmpxiNY ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!

Spotted Lanternflies are The Ultimate Party Crashers

21 квіт. 2026 р.

They’re bright, bold — and can be bad news. Spotted lanternflies are invasive insects that spread by hitchhiking on almost anything we move. Once they arrive, they swarm trees and crops, draining sap and leaving behind sticky residue that can damage entire ecosystems. Find out how they got here, why they're so hard to stop, and whether scientists can find a way to shut the party down. ---+ For all things Earth Month, check out our playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnNZYWyBGJ1F8ofFm4H9UTrHxqU8zngK4&si=29rBI7fxpV0OWoJY 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2000676/spotted-lanternflies-are-the-ultimate-party-crashers ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: We Made The Stuff That Makes Fireflies Glow In A Lab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbuJSmpxiNY Can You Spot These Insane Camouflaged Animals? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpvc5ZX5B08 Why Mammals Gave Up On Laying Eggs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilpmpCEDK8A ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!

The Shiniest Skill in Nature | Big Ideas

31 бер. 2026 р.

Some animals don’t just survive in the dark — they light it up. From deep-sea predators to insects on the forest floor, living organisms across the planet have evolved the ability to glow. This phenomenon, known as bioluminescence, has appeared independently dozens of times in nature. But why? In this episode, we break down how bioluminescence works at the molecular level. Special compounds like Luciferin react with enzymes called Luciferase to produce light — no electricity required. ---+ For all things Earth Month, check out our playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnNZYWyBGJ1F8ofFm4H9UTrHxqU8zngK4 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2000492/why-do-animals-glow-the-science-of-bioluminescence ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: Why Mammals Gave Up On Laying Eggs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilpmpCEDK8A I Simulated Insect Vision and It Got WEIRD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UCQoFO9dIk Can You Spot These Insane Camouflaged Animals? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpvc5ZX5B08 ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!

Why Mammals Gave Up On Laying Eggs

10 бер. 2026 р.

So… Why don’t we lay eggs? 🥚 Most animals on Earth do: most invertebrates, including most insects, most fish, most amphibians, most reptiles, all birds and even a few mammals lay eggs to reproduce. So what about us? Why did our ancestors ditch the shell and start growing babies inside their bodies instead? In this episode of Big Ideas, from the team behind Deep Look, Niba zooms out to explore one of evolution’s biggest plot twists: how eggs evolved, how they conquered land, and why most mammals — including us — moved on to live birth. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: www.kqed.org/science/2000271/why-mammals-gave-up-on-laying-eggs ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: Tiger Beetles Bite First, Ask Questions Never https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojMnlGGWV1o These Lovebugs Have Attachment Issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XJYo3FuvFc Beach Day?

I Simulated Insect Vision and It Got WEIRD

17 лют. 2026 р.

Here’s what compound eyes really do — and why flies see you in slow motion. A few centuries ago, scientists believed insects saw thousands of tiny, repeated images — like a kaleidoscope of candle flames. But that’s not how compound eyes work. In this episode of Big Ideas from the team behind Deep Look, Niba explores how insects actually see the world — from the structure of ommatidia to motion detection, ultraviolet color vision, and the evolutionary advantage of seeing faster than we do. From ancient trilobites to modern pollinators, this episode dives into the evolution, physics, and neuroscience behind the most common eye type in the animal kingdom. 🧠 Why compound eyes dominate the planet ⚡ How insects see motion in “slow motion” 🌈 What colors insects see that humans can’t 🪰 Why flies are so hard to swat Welcome to Big Ideas — where we zoom out to answer the biggest questions about how animals survive. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2000059/what-an-insect-view-really-looks-like ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: There’s No Place Like Home: 4 of Nature’s Savviest Homeowners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNDU6IYH3Eo This Stick Insect Has a Peppermint-Scented Secret Weapon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmPCRIwi0mg 4 of the Deadliest Tiny Hunters We've Ever Filmed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLr0Xleaxb8 ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!

You know those couples that do everything together? Lovebugs, also known as honeymoon flies, can spend anywhere from a half-hour to a couple of days attached to each other. As the female drags or carries the male from flower to flower, piggyback style, they pollinate cherries, apples and pears. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/kqeddeeplook?sub_confirmation=1 DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED in San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios.

A male mosquito can hear the difference between the sound of his beating wings and those of a female. He has thousands of specialized sensors at the base of his antennae that contribute to his exquisitely sensitive hearing. We asked, what is the name of the enclosure that houses these sensors, located at the base of each of his antennae? The answer we were looking for was pedicels. Each pedicel houses 16,000 sensors, in the case of a male mosquito. These sensors are part of what's known as the Johnston's organ. The sensors pick up vibrations from the mosquito's antennae and transmit information to the brain. That's how a mosquito hears. @marasenna781 @ellie_vibes ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)! Lily, Vinny, Izzy Altschuler H.M.

We asked what do baby jumping spiders eat during their first few weeks of life, while they're still in their mom's nest, and how do they learn to hunt. These four fans answered the second question correctly when they said that spiderlings learn to hunt through instinct. More specifically, they learn to hunt by training themselves, practicing on their own. None of our fans gave us the answer we were after when we asked what the spiderlings eat while they're still in the nest.

These 5 Bees Are Waaay More Than Honey and Stingers | Deep Look

12 лист. 2024 р.

You know honeybees make honey, but did you know they make bread too? Alfalfa leafcutting bees take a punch from a flower for your ice cream. Blue orchard bees make nests from mud and bring you almonds and sweet cherries. Plus, stingless bees protect their tasty honey in creative ways. And bindweed bees’ way of gathering pollen deserves a fashion award. 0:15 - Honeybees and bee bread 04:02 - Alfalfa leafcutting bees 08:02 - Bindweed turret bees 12:55 - Stingless bees 18:52 - Blue orchard bees 👉 SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp JOIN our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/deeplook SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/kqeddeeplook?sub_confirmation=1 DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED in San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small. --- -As they fly from bloom to bloom, honeybees mix pollen with a little nectar, honey and saliva. They haul this pollen blend back to the hive and deposit it in cells next to the developing bee larvae. This stored pollen, known as bee bread, is the colony’s main source of protein. -Every summer, alfalfa leafcutting bees in California pollinate fields from which growers harvest alfalfa seeds. Alfalfa makes a nutritious hay for dairy cows. These bees are much better at pollinating alfalfa than honeybees. As they visit alfalfa flowers, they trigger a spring mechanism that causes them to be hit in the face by the plant’s reproductive organ. -Bindweed turret bees are among the 70% of bee species worldwide that nest in the ground. After digging their tunnel-shaped nests in California’s Central Valley, they gather pollen from morning glories, also known as bindweeds. Their shaggy legs get so covered in whitish pollen that they look like they’re wearing tiny pollen pants. Inside their nest, they pack the pollen into balls that will feed their offspring. -More than 600 species of stingless bees across Mexico, Central and South America, and other tropical regions worldwide, make flavorful honey, which is sold as a health product to treat ailments like sore throats. But they don’t have stingers to defend the honey. Instead, guard bees protect the nest entrance, biting intruders and entangling themselves in their hair. Some stingless bees also barricade their nest with a mix of wax and plant resins. Honeys from both stingless bees and honeybees contain hydrogen peroxide, which is antimicrobial. Since stingless bees collect resins, pollen and nectar from a host of plants – often in the rainforest – scientists are studying their honey for chemicals that might have medicinal properties. -Blue orchard bees have hairs on their abdomen called scopa, which make them good at moving around the pollen of almonds, sweet cherries and other tree fruits. These mason bees collect gobs of mud with their pincerlike mandibles, which they use to build their nests in hollow twigs or straws inside wood blocks offered to the bees by growers. ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/1995086/these-bees-hustle-to-put-food-on-the-table ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: The Bizarre Biology of 5 Bloodsucking Creatures https://youtu.be/RQTi1GWv_lg?si=_Tc0fQHq2-lUv4XH Butterflies & Caterpillars: Delicate But Mighty Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdKlciEDdCQBT-1J7j32_-GW7YKQUBsli ---+ Congratulations to the first 5 fans who correctly answered the GIF challenge on our community tab: @pamelapilling6996 @Hive5Bees @austintandoc8187 @Just_a_guy909 @braddarr6429 ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!

How Sunflowers Bring All the Bees to the Yard | Deep Look

22 жовт. 2024 р.

To make their seeds, sunflowers need to attract bees with a warm, bright bloom. So, the plants spend their youth preparing to face the sunrise just as the pollinators fly by. Watch the TV miniseries "Weathered: Earth's Extremes," which explores our changing climate and how a better future is within reach. https://www.pbs.org/show/weathered/ SUBSCRIBE to Deep Look! https://www.youtube.com/user/kqeddeeplook?sub_confirmation=1 Please join our community on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/deeplook DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED in San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small. --- Sunflowers get their name from their big yellow blooms. But it’s not just about looks. Even compared to other plants, sunflowers are absolutely obsessed with the sun. University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Davis researchers are collaborating to figure out how these plants keep an internal clock that allows them to predict where and when the sun will travel each day. --- When do sunflowers bloom? In most temperate areas, sunflowers are typically planted in the spring and bloom between July and September. --- How tall do sunflowers grow? Sunflowers can grow quickly. Some varieties only grow about 1 foot tall while others can reach 15 feet! --- What is heliotropism? Sunflowers exhibit a behavior called heliotropism, where the young plants track the sun, angling themselves toward the sunlight throughout the day. The term comes from the Greek word for the sun: helios. ---+ Find additional resources and a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/1994840/why-do-sunflowers-face-the-sunrise ---+ For more information: The Harmer Lab at the University of California, Davis studies the molecular nature of the plant circadian clock and how it influences growth and development. https://harmerlab.plantclock.org/research/ The Blackman Lab at University of California, Berkeley studies how plants adapt to local environments, with an emphasis on how these evolutionary processes alter plant-environment interactions during development. https://plantandmicrobiology.berkeley.edu/profile/benjamin-blackman-phd ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: This Bee Gets Punched by Flowers for Your Ice Cream https://youtu.be/rsUNxvXofgo?si=Y1X4IAb22IWbbgvO Stingless Bees Guard Tasty Honey With Barricades, Bouncers and Bites https://youtu.be/Sln3LiPvuVA?si=xgAil_NAbD-UXYwU This Vibrating Bumblebee Unlocks a Flower's Hidden Treasure https://youtu.be/SZrTndD1H10?si=BvhUPB6w0_jhqOMF ---+ Shoutout! 🏆Congratulations 🏆 to the following fans on our Deep Look Community Tab for correctly answering our GIF challenge!
