I loved learning about the laryngeal nerve in giraffes from the video by Richard Dawkins. I think the PBS show Your Inner Fish covered it too.

Edit: I may be wrong about Your Inner Fish referencing the laryngeal nerve, but I'm currently re-watching it anyway.

    I remember it being related to gills as well. The nerve just passed by a gill artery, it was all basically neck, but when the body changed the nerve was still looped around the artery which was located near the heart.
