Crocodile Conversations & Alligator Gossip | Savannah Boan | TEDxOrlando

By:  TEDx Talks

Originally published on January 3rd, 2019

Crocodiles and alligators aren’t exactly what comes to mind when one thinks ‘cute and cuddly’. Yet gators and crocs are important and vital creatures in our world’s ecosystem. How can we protect these amazing creatures through anthropomorphism and storytelling? What role can social media and eco-tourism play?

Savannah Boan from Gatorland makes the case in her fun and energetic TEDxOrlando 2018 talk.

Savannah Boan is Gatorland’s Crocodilian Enrichment Coordinator and International Ambassador For Conservation. She is dedicated to teaching people about the incredible behavior, anatomy, and ecology of some of the world’s most feared creatures. Through groundbreaking content for Gatorland’s worldwide social media, she is changing the villainous perception of alligators and crocodiles to create respect for the animals and the world in which they live. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Hidden miracles of the natural world | Louie Schwartzberg

By: TED

Published on Apr 9, 2014

We live in a world of unseeable beauty, so subtle and delicate that it is imperceptible to the human eye. To bring this invisible world to light, filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg bends the boundaries of time and space with high-speed cameras, time lapses and microscopes. At TED2014, he shares highlights from his latest project, a 3D film titled “Mysteries of the Unseen World,” which slows down, speeds up, and magnifies the astonishing wonders of nature.
