Nigel's Top 5 Coolest Animals

In Nigel's Top 5 Coolest Animals, Nigel the Narwhal counts down their favourite animals from the Arctic. It is a short, friendly video that works like a top five list, so children can follow along and see which animals make the cut.

Children get a close-up look at life in one of the coldest places on Earth and meet some of the animals that call the Arctic home. The video also connects to Climate Action, helping young viewers see that the Arctic is a real habitat with real wildlife, and that looking after our planet helps the animals who live there.

This video is a good fit for parents and teachers looking for Arctic animals for kids, or an easy way to start talking about polar habitats and climate change. It suits ages 3-7, and older children up to 11 can enjoy it too.

To get children talking afterwards, try asking: Which Arctic animal was your favourite, and why? What do you think it is like to live somewhere so cold? You could ask children to make their own top five list of favourite animals, then draw them or share their reasons with the class or at home.
