In this episode of the Bill Nye the Science Guy series, Nye discusses various populations, including those of animals, and how one population might depend on another for survival. All populations need food and living quarters, and when these two things are threatened, something has to give. Bill Nye the Science Guy: Populations explores the interactions between human and animal populations and how overcrowding in a given area can affect the populations and the resources of that area. But as is typical with the Science Guy, it's not all science and no play.
