Did you know that coral reefs are found in oceans all across the world? Thousands of animals make the reef their home and healthy reefs are really important for the health of animals all across the ocean and for people that live all over the world. Learn about how Iowa is helping to save coral reefs at the Blank Park Zoo.

This segment is from Iowa PBS’s Go Wild program. Explore different types of animals and why they have the characteristics that they have. Learn about how animals participate in their own health care. These fun, inspiring science topics will encourage young explorers to investigate the world and discover the many wonderful ways we can interact with animals and their habitats. The demonstrations are made possible through a partnership with the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa.
