Summary
Some say it’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, and we completely agree (well, kind of)! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby teach you about food chains, the complex webs that connect the eaters...and the eaten. See what happens when a single link is removed from a food chain! Marvel as our dogged duo taunts bears in the name of science! Gasp as you learn the difference between producers, consumers, and decomposers! Best of all, you’ll learn your place in the giant food web that is planet Earth. The BrainPOP Food Chain movie: good for cannibals, omnivores, and vegans alike!
