NATURAL born REBELS A THREE-PART NATURE MINISERIES

WEDNESDAYS, AUG 25-SEPT 8, 8 PM

F

rom a promiscuous prairie dog to an alpha chimpanzee who reigns with an iron fist, the three-part miniseries Natural Born Rebels explores the most rebellious animals in the natural world. But are these creatures really breaking bad? Across the world, new studies are uncovering an astonishing variety of insubordinate animal behaviors, and despite how it appears on the surface, researchers are discovering the complex and fascinating science behind why these animals behave the way they do. In fact, being a rebel could be the key to success in the wild.

DID YOU KNOW? • Hummingbirds must eat more than twice their body weight in food each day.

•

Coconut crabs weigh up to nine pounds and may be the world’s largest land crab.

• Deer are dichromats, which means their color vision comes from just two color receptors – they can only see greens and blues.

• Spotted hyenas are often born as twins, and the siblings

fight to establish a hierarchy in their clan, which can include more than 100 hyenas.

Episode 1, “Hunger Wars” Wednesday, August 25, 8 p.m.

Meet the animals who will steal, cheat and fight to get food, including kleptomaniac crabs, thieving macaques, con artist spiders, tricky tigers and cannibalistic lizards.

Episode 2, “Survival” Wednesday, September 1, 8 p.m.

Some animals will do whatever it takes to survive. Cockatoos turn to vandalism, boxer crabs hold anemones hostage, sloths become filthy, puff adders have an “invisibility cloak” to hide themselves, and chimps use violence to stay in power.

Episode 3, “The Mating Game” Wednesday, September 8, 8 p.m.

Getting ahead in the mating game requires some astonishing behavior–from promiscuous prairie dogs to manakin pick-up artists, kidnapping macaques and hyenas with a bad case of sibling rivalry to cannibalistic lizards.

GPB EDUCATION SERVES A VITAL ROLE FOR GEORGIA STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

by GPB CEO Teya Ryan

I

know you love that GPB is the place that brings you MASTERPIECE and Nature, as well as news from NPR, and so do I. BUT, what I really love about GPB is what we do for teachers and students in Georgia. Please stay with me here because the numbers tell an amazing story.

12 million page views - That’s the number of times that teachers and students accessed GPB Education for digital materials for use in the classroom this past school year.

And there is so much more:

STUDENTS & TEACHERS ARE BENEFITING FROM AN INCREDIBLY DIVERSE RANGE OF SUBJECTS A full course in high school physics A digital textbook that covers Georgia History Digital games that teach students about personal finance, Georgia geography and early math Digital “field trips” that take students to places around the state Virtual Reality experiences that take students from deep in the Georgia forests to museum tours

LIVE EXPLORATIONS We have produced seven “Live Explorations” where we take students to places for unique, behind-the-scenes experiences such as the Atlanta Symphony, the invention lab at Georgia Tech, the Okefenokee Swamp and recycling centers.

More than half a million students have joined us for these live explorations.

TEACHER TRAININGS GPB has two teachers who travel the state all year long to train teachers to access and use GPB’s digital resources.

This past year our teachers reached more than 6,000 educators.

For more information go to GPB.org/Education and have a look at all we do.

Remember, every resource we offer to students and teachers is FREE. If you support GPB with your donations, you are also helping to educate children in Georgia. I hope you join me in taking great pride in GPB’s digital education achievements.

Join GPB and the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) for Breaking Down Georgia’s Opioid Crisis: Opioids and Youth, the latest installment in a series of virtual events exploring different facets of the crisis, including health disparities that exist, the work happening and resources available here in Georgia.

For many kids, make-believe may be the most important part of their world.

But when real-life emergencies happen, parents can count on Wellstar to keep what they treasure most - their child - in expert, secure hands. At each pediatricfriendly emergency department, we deliver world-class care for children from birth to age 18. Because we know one size doesn’t fit all, everything our experienced pediatric team uses is just right for little patients, like mini casts, crutches and blood pressure cuffs (that give the best arm hugs).

With Wellstar hospitals right around the corner, you won’t have to go far for the best pediatric emergency care.
