"Walt Disney Imagineers do more than create wild rides. They also study wild animals to create environments, activities and educational programs at Disney's Animal Kingdom that are tailored to the species' physical and behavioral adaptations. How do naked mole rats identify family members, and why is the toilet chamber so important? How do dolphins recognize each other in murky water? How do meerkats communicate it's safe to come out and forage for food? They all rely on communication adaptations -- olfactory, auditory and visual. Students will learn to define and identify key adaptations, and listen in on amazing elephant communications that most humans have never heard"--Container.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Wait, Do You Smell Naked Mole Rat? submitted by Meginator on August 11, 2021, 4:38pm This program, like the others in the series, takes a frenetic approach to science education by combining factual segments about a scientific field (here, the concept of evolution and various adaptations that help non-human animals communicate) with illustrative visits to the Disney Parks. This particular episode has a great balance of science and story, with a couple of recurring jokes that had me genuinely laughing out loud. As usual, I even learned something, despite the fact that I am, ahem, slightly out of the target age range for these videos. Having seen most of the series now, I think this episode of The Science of Disney Imagineering does the best job of being educational and fun without overdoing it.
