Video - Nature's Wonders: From the Great Barrier Reef to Tardigrades and Beyond

"The Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Australia, is the largest living structure on Earth. It’s so vast that it can be seen from space and is home to thousands of marine species." "A single tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Over its lifetime, it can sequester about one ton of CO2, making trees crucial in combating climate change." "Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are microscopic animals that can survive extreme conditions, including the vacuum of space. They can endure temperatures from just above absolute zero to over 300°F (149°C)." "The human nose can detect over one trillion different scents. This incredible sensitivity plays a key role in taste, memory, and emotion." "A day on Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, lasts about 59 Earth days. However, a year on Mercury is only 88 Earth days long, making its days longer than its years."
