It's Bill Nye the Science Guy! In this episode, Bill explores the science of the food web. Ultimately all of our energy comes from the sun. Plants are the only big living things that don't need other living things to survive. All they need are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make their own food. But it doesn't stop them from being eaten -- no way. In fact, plants are great things to eat. All animals need them in some way for food â by the way, don't forget that, without plants, there would be no oxygen to breathe. The lives of living things are intertwined -- that's why we scientists call it a food web. Mice are eaten by bats, snakes, birds, and foxes, to name a few. Insects are eaten by other insects, birds, snakes, cats, rats, raccoons, and even humans. All living things on the Earth's surface need plants. The cool part about the food web is that living things are made of other living things. It's a cycle -- you're either eating or being eaten. Bill Nye the Science Guy will get you all tangled up in the food web.
