Parenthood: Protection | Nature

Compare how animal parents in different environments protect their young from predators and other dangers in their habitats. See boxer crabs in the ocean, frogs and tarantulas in the jungle, cranes in the grasslands, and cichlid fish in a pond defend their babies in these video clips from the Nature “Parenthood” series. Then, do two activities where you match animal parents to their offspring and compare and contrast the parents’ behaviors.
