What this episode covers

ВИКТОРИНА В ОПИСАНИИ: VOCABULARY 🐒 brachiation: a method of movement used by gibbons, involving swinging from branch to branch using their arms. 🐍 sidewinder snakes: snakes that move across sandy surfaces using a unique sideways looping motion. 🐙 jet propulsion: a method used by octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid to move quickly by expelling water. 🐧 tobogganing: a movement technique used by penguins, sliding on their bellies across snow and ice. 🐟 hydrodynamic: having a shape that reduces resistance during movement through water, aiding in efficient swimming. 🌊 tube feet: small, flexible, and hollow appendages used by starfish for movement and grasping surfaces. 🏞️ surface tension: the elastic-like property of the water's surface that allows water striders to move on it. 🦘 elastic tendons: found in kangaroos, these structures store and release energy with each hop, aiding efficient movement.
