Permission email response: 
Yes, you have my permission to use my video for your lesson. Just be sure to provide the proper credits. And it would be awesome for you to share this video with school kids, to help them learn about animals and their habitats.

Hope to hear from you more in the future regarding more ideas on topics such as ecology and education.
