    Are vampire bats hazardous? - Imran Razik

    Follow the nighttime routine of a vampire bat as it hunts for prey, and find out how these unique creatures work together to survive.--Vampire bats are the only mammals to subsist on blood alone. Their ancient ancestors might have eaten parasites and insects off larger animals until vampire bats began feeding directly from those animals themselves. So, how do these nocturnal creatures find their sustenance? And what animals do they most commonly target? Imran Razik follows the nighttime routine of a vampire bat as she hunts.Lesson by Imran Razik, directed by Sharon Colman.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/how-vampire-bats-drink-your-blood-without-you-noticing-imran-razikDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-vampire-bats-drink-your-blood-without-you-noticing-imran-razik/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.sharoncolman.comMusic: https://soundgoods.tv----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    If you had the choice to live forever, would you take it? - Sarah Stroud and Michael Vazquez

    Explore different philosophers’ ideas on immortality and dig into their theories about the positives and negatives of eternal life.--While cleaning out your uncle’s attic you find a chest with a sparkling potion. The attached tag declares drinking this liquid will make you immortal. Your body will be frozen at its current age, and these effects would be final and irreversible. The instructions are clear — the only question is, do you drink the potion? Sarah Stroud and Michael Vazquez explore this philosophical debate.Lesson by Sarah Stroud and Michael Vazquez, directed by Skirmanta Jakaitė.This video was produced in collaboration with the Parr Center for Ethics, housed within the renowned Philosophy Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Parr Center is committed to integrating abstract work in ethical theory with the informed discussion of practical ethical issues, and prides itself on the development of innovative and inclusive approaches to moral and civic education.Learn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnerSupport 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/if-you-had-the-chance-to-be-immortal-would-you-take-it-sarah-stroud-and-michael-vazquezDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/if-you-had-the-chance-to-be-immortal-would-you-take-it-sarah-stroud-and-michael-vazquez/digdeeper----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
