Why it works
The familiar sheep example lands in the first second, then the first cut at 1.43 s and a diagram at 2.25 s turn a cute image into a clear explanation. A four-part checklist creates repeated turns at about 0:26, 0:59, 1:52, 2:19, and 3:31, while real animal footage makes each rule concrete. Replay peaks at 0:30.6–0:34.5, 3:53.6–3:57.5, and 4:51.1–4:54.9 coincide with a vivid comparison, the zebra answer, and a dog gag.
