Episode What is evolution?
Did you know that the biggest animal on Earth, the giant blue whale, used to walk on four legs like a wolf? Or that you share sixty percent of your DNA with a banana?! Get ready for a mind-bending adventure as Mira and Finn explore the amazing science of evolution! Discover how living things slowly shape-shift over millions and millions of years to survive in their changing environments. We'll travel to a tiny volcanic island to watch bird beaks magically change shape in real-time, dive deep into the past with a twelve-year-old fossil hunter named Mary Anning who uncovered a massive sea-dragon, and learn how a furry land animal transformed into a swimming giant! You'll find out why babies are never exactly like their parents and how those tiny differences add up over "Deep Time" to create brand-new creatures. Plus, uncover the secret leftover body parts hiding inside whales—and even humans! Join the Kidopoly crew to uncover how every animal, from a tiny mouse to a giant whale, is part of one giant family tree of life!
