I am a TED-addict :) I love the idea behind this project and love to surf and listen to the brilliant ideas.
I was hoping we could share and discuss our favourite animal, wildlife and conservation related TED talks in this thread.

Here are some of my favourites:

Most inspiring:
Kartick Satyanarayan: How we rescued the "dancing" bears | Video on TED.com

Most moving (with the potential of going viral, if they would edited it "KONY 2012-style" ;) )
Paul Nicklen: Tales of ice-bound wonderlands | Video on TED.com

Funniest (and featuring a zoo animal! )
Einstein the Parrot talks and squawks | Video on TED.com


Most Irish :D (for all of you that love Basking Sharks as much as I do)
Simon Berrow: How do you save a shark you know nothing about? | Video on TED.com


So, what are your favourite TED talks? Have you ever come across a bad TED talk?

P.S. Are there any TED translators on ZooChat? I am especially looking for somebody translating into Czech so we could review each others translations.
 
Yeah I watch a few TED talks off and on. I find the actual TED website a bit difficult to navigate, and the search function is a bit whack. Overall though, I like the idea, despite there being a few talks that I think "hey, I can give a better lecture than that!".

I will have to check the videos you posted, because the only wildlife one I ever saw was one on snakes (cobras?) a couple years ago. Thanks for posting.
 
You´re right, it is sometimes difficult to navigate - I usually use "View all tags" button and look for "Birds", "Ocean", etc.. I discovered lots of nice talks simply by clicking on "related videos".. Or you can simply search for "wildlife".. That´s kinda the reason I started this thread - some videos are hard to find, so we can all share our discoveries here.. ;)
