Otters & Orcas: An Alaskan Mystery
In this bonus scene from-The Serengeti Rules, scientist Jim Estes discovers the collapse of the kelp forest ecosystem he had once seen thriving in the 1970s. He determines how it’s caused by a ripple effect from the Pacific Northwest whaling business in the 1990s, changing the predation of orcas, thereby decimating the otter population and the kelp forest ecosystem by extension.

How Starfish Changed Modern Ecology
Witness scientist Bob Paine's breakthrough discovery of keystone species, through his ingenious experiment with tidepool starfish.
How Wildebeest Saved the Serengeti
In the 1960s, ecologist Tony Sinclair made a breakthrough discovery when he observed a huge population surge of wildebeest in the Serengeti. He found that the wildebeest were the key to keeping the ecosystem balanced and that keystone species could be prey as well as predators.
Gaining Vision Underwater
With severe myopia hindering her vision on land, scientist Mary Power's love for aquatic life began when she realized she could see much better underwater. The refraction of the water in her snorkeling mask allowed her to see clearly for the very first time.
