Why Don’t Sleeping Birds Fall Off Branches?
When a bird lands on a branch, it bends its legs, tightening the tendons and curling its toes around the branch. The deeper it squats, the tighter its grip becomes. Authors: ZDF/3sat/nano/Autorenkombinat/Holger Barthel und Daniel Beißmann/Markus Wohn/Maximilian Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha

The Three Stages of a Body's Decomposition
When a person dies, their body decomposes, and its components return to the natural cycle of life. Decomposition happens in three main stages: autolysis, putrefaction, and decay. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/Bilderfest/Tillman Graach/Fabian Brokmeier/Maximilian Rügamer/Tim Uhlendorf/Maximilian Heß Transla
Endogenous Cannabinoids
When there is a chemical imbalance in the body, such as during stress, endocannabinoids are released. They bind to the matching receptors, regulating the activity of the nerve cells. This allows the body to counteract the imbalance. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/J. v. Kalkreuth/M. Richter-Jähring/D. da Cruz

The Structure of Protein
Proteins are made up of the same basic building blocks: amino acids. These differ in their properties, such as their size or shape. Humans need a total of 20 different amino acids to build proteins. Authors: ZDF/Terra X+/Bilderfest/Nina Beier/Olivia Wassios/Julian Krugmann/Magnus Schmitz/Sabine Fin
The most important climate factors
How sun, clouds, CO2 and other factors determine the climate. The video clip was created in collaboration with meteorologist Prof. Dr. Stephan Borrmann, Professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Scientific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, and climate scientist Dr. Di
Barrier-free subtitles - Define your own rules and values
Barrier-free subtitles are absolutely necessary, especially for public broadcasts, but also for videos on Netflix & Co. In general, the relevant values are already stored in the alugha dubbr and can be used directly for many languages individually and automatically. However, it happens again and a
