Why are there so many distinct dog breeds? - Kathleen Morrill Pirovich
from TED-Ed · host TED-Ed
Trace the evolution of dog breeds, and find out why their characteristics, behaviors, and personalities vary so widely.--The immense physical variety of dogs makes them among the world’s most diverse species and likely the one with the greatest range in size. A Pomeranian, for example, might weigh 2 kilograms, while a Mastiff could tip the scale to 100. So, why is this? And what does a dog’s breed actually say about them? Kathleen Morrill Pirovich explores the dizzying diversity of dogs.Lesson by Kathleen Morrill Pirovich, directed by Anastasiia Falileieva, Studio Plastic Bag.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/do-different-dog-breeds-really-have-different-personalities-kathleen-morrill-pirovichDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/do-different-dog-breeds-really-have-different-personalities-kathleen-morrill-pirovich/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://fanasyafa.myportfolio.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
