In this edition of What's Wild, we're traveling to one of South Carolina's barrier islands and observing rare feeding techniques of resident bottlenose dolphins. Also, we'll be taking a look at Charleston's Lowcountry Marine Mammal network, a non-profit organization and marine mammal first-response team whose mission is to educate the public and inspire children to become future ambassadors of conservation.

- 4-LS1-1. Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function together in a system to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
- 7-LS2-4 Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations.
- B-LS2-7 Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on biodiversity and ecosystem health.
- B-LS2-8 Evaluate evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species chances to survive and reproduce.
