00:00:04,922 --> 00:00:06,299
WOMAN: Good boy!
3
00:00:06,674 --> 00:00:09,552
KENDALL: We have Scooter,
who’s our female, and Zawadi,
4
00:00:09,635 --> 00:00:11,637
who is our male.
5
00:00:11,763 --> 00:00:12,680
Zawadi has decided
6
00:00:12,764 --> 00:00:15,308
what he really wants is
to be scratched for the day.
7
00:00:15,391 --> 00:00:17,977
He’s like, “I want
you to scratch my belly.”
8
00:00:18,061 --> 00:00:20,480
You want scratches too?
9
00:00:20,980 --> 00:00:23,024
This is one of the things
that we get to do with them
10
00:00:23,107 --> 00:00:25,693
that makes us fall
in love with them.
11
00:00:25,902 --> 00:00:28,738
Is that the
enrichment you actually want?
12
00:00:28,821 --> 00:00:30,740
Your eye’s closing?
13
00:00:30,823 --> 00:00:33,326
Hyena are actually
a lot more like cats.
14
00:00:33,409 --> 00:00:35,703
They want that attention, but
Scooter sometimes will get to
15
00:00:35,787 --> 00:00:37,121
a point where
she’s like, “Okay, I’m done,
16
00:00:37,205 --> 00:00:38,873
I’m gonna go over here.”
17
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:41,167
Zawadi, you’re the
best boy in the world!
18
00:00:42,043 --> 00:00:48,549

NARRATOR: In the land of Asia...
21
00:01:04,023 --> 00:01:05,775
COREY (over speaker): Welcome
to Feathered Friends in Flight.
22
00:01:05,858 --> 00:01:06,776
My name is Corey.
23
00:01:06,859 --> 00:01:08,152
KATIE (over speaker):
And I'm Katie.
24
00:01:08,236 --> 00:01:09,445
ARI: All right Logan,
are you ready?
25
00:01:09,529 --> 00:01:11,072
Okay, here we go.
26
00:01:11,155 --> 00:01:13,533
You got this.
27
00:01:16,202 --> 00:01:19,872
NARRATOR: Logan the raven gets
ready for his big performance.
28
00:01:21,624 --> 00:01:24,293
ARI: He comes out
just opening of the show.
29
00:01:24,377 --> 00:01:26,295
Oh!
30
00:01:27,547 --> 00:01:28,798
And he finds a water bottle
31
00:01:28,881 --> 00:01:30,883
that was accidentally left on the stage.
32
00:01:31,801 --> 00:01:34,637
(laughter)
33
00:01:36,806 --> 00:01:38,266
ARI: Good job.
34
00:01:38,349 --> 00:01:40,726
He’s going straight to the can.
35
00:01:40,810 --> 00:01:43,271
And he brings it
over to the recycle bin,
36
00:01:43,354 --> 00:01:44,522
puts it in the bin, recycles it.
37
00:01:44,605 --> 00:01:46,482
Yes, he got it!
38
00:01:46,566 --> 00:01:47,817
Good!
39
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,610
And that starts the show.
40
00:01:49,694 --> 00:01:51,320
(cheering)
41
00:01:51,404 --> 00:01:53,823
ARI: Nicely done!
You did so good!
42
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:55,867
Good job, Logan!
43
00:01:55,950 --> 00:01:56,868
(laughs).
44
00:01:56,951 --> 00:01:58,786
You’re so good!
45
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:03,541
We really like to feature
natural behaviors of birds,
46
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:08,588
and hopefully inspire the audience for
caring conservation action.
47
00:02:08,671 --> 00:02:11,174
They can see birds
from all over the world.
48
00:02:13,843 --> 00:02:16,095
(squawks)
49
00:02:17,221 --> 00:02:18,431
(squawks)
50
00:02:18,514 --> 00:02:21,309
Logan definitely thinks
he’s the star of the show, um.
51
00:02:21,392 --> 00:02:23,728
You can tell he’s
extremely handsome,
52
00:02:23,811 --> 00:02:29,650
and he always gets really
great reactions from the crowd.
53
00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:31,777
(squawks)
54
00:02:31,861 --> 00:02:32,778
They’re so smart.
55
00:02:32,862 --> 00:02:36,032
They’ve done some research
that shows that ravens actually
56
00:02:36,115 --> 00:02:37,700
plan for the future.
57
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:40,828
They’re really good at
problem solving and tool use,
58
00:02:40,912 --> 00:02:43,080
which is pretty amazing.
59
00:02:46,459 --> 00:02:49,962
NARRATOR: Logan’s intelligence
keeps the team on their toes.
60
00:02:50,046 --> 00:02:52,882
ARI: We just need a little
more depth in this routine.
61
00:02:52,965 --> 00:02:55,426
NARRATOR: Logan’s always
hungry for a challenge,
62
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:57,386
so they’ve come
up with a new one.
63
00:02:57,470 --> 00:02:59,972
He’s going to learn
how to untie knots,
64
00:03:00,056 --> 00:03:03,017
starting with
trainer Corey’s shoelaces.
65
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,644
KATIE: He’s never done
anything with shoes yet?
66
00:03:04,727 --> 00:03:06,020
ARI: No.
KATIE: Okay.
67
00:03:06,103 --> 00:03:08,439
ARI: It’s a really fun behavior
with a really smart bird,
68
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:09,899
who I think is gonna
get this pretty quick,
69
00:03:10,024 --> 00:03:10,942
but you never know.
70
00:03:11,025 --> 00:03:12,068
Every bird is an individual,
71
00:03:12,151 --> 00:03:14,278
so we’ll have to
see how Logan does.
72
00:03:14,362 --> 00:03:16,989
All right, here comes Logan.
73
00:03:17,073 --> 00:03:19,533
(squawks)
74
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:21,410
KATIE: Okay, I’m
gonna spin him around here,
75
00:03:21,494 --> 00:03:22,912
just set him down on the ground.
76
00:03:22,995 --> 00:03:23,913
Ready?
77
00:03:23,996 --> 00:03:26,666
COREY: Yep.
KATIE: Okay.
78
00:03:27,041 --> 00:03:29,460
Good!
79
00:03:32,046 --> 00:03:33,798
Good!
80
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:35,299
This is a fun puzzle.
81
00:03:35,383 --> 00:03:38,219
You give ‘em a puzzle and
they figure it out immediately.
82
00:03:38,678 --> 00:03:40,388
(squawks)
83
00:03:40,471 --> 00:03:41,514
Good!
84
00:03:41,597 --> 00:03:42,515
ARI: That went great.
85
00:03:42,598 --> 00:03:45,601
NARRATOR: Logan nails it,
without breaking a sweat,
86
00:03:45,685 --> 00:03:48,521
thanks to a familiar technique.
87
00:03:48,604 --> 00:03:52,316
ARI: Katie saying, “Good,” he
knows that good word has been
88
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,319
paired with food, so that he
can know he did the right thing,
89
00:03:55,403 --> 00:03:56,612
and if he comes back to Katie,
90
00:03:56,696 --> 00:03:58,864
he’s gonna get a treat.
91
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:01,617
KATIE: Good!
92
00:04:01,701 --> 00:04:03,494
ARI: The way you feel that
when you learn something new,
93
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:05,579
and you’re like, “I
just did that thing, wow,
94
00:04:05,663 --> 00:04:07,331
how cool was that?
I did such a good job.”
95
00:04:07,415 --> 00:04:11,085
That the birds must
have that same feeling.
96
00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:13,504
COREY: Out in the wild, they’ve
gotta use their intelligence,
97
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,840
and there are crows that have
been seen dropping things like
98
00:04:15,923 --> 00:04:18,592
nuts with a really
strong shell onto crosswalks,
99
00:04:18,676 --> 00:04:20,928
so that the cars will
break them open for them.
100
00:04:21,012 --> 00:04:22,346
So, they’re very, very smart.
101
00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:24,473
It’s how they go
through their entire world.
102
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:25,850
ARI: He did awesome,
that as really good.
103
00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:26,934
COREY: Yeah,
that was really good.
104
00:04:27,018 --> 00:04:29,562
ARI: That first training session
couldn’t have gone better.
105
00:04:29,645 --> 00:04:32,565
It was like he had been doing
this his whole life already.
106
00:04:32,648 --> 00:04:35,109
But it doesn’t just
stop at the shoelace.
107
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:38,029
There is a second
part to this behavior.
108
00:04:38,112 --> 00:04:39,697
It’s pretty complex.
109
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:41,782
I hope Logan’s ready.
110
00:04:51,459 --> 00:04:54,754
MORI: All right, let’s
see if we can find Olivia.
111
00:04:56,756 --> 00:04:58,674
This animal’s amazing.
112
00:04:58,758 --> 00:05:00,176
Very mysterious.
113
00:05:00,259 --> 00:05:02,928
A lot of people don’t
know about this animal.
114
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:05,514
They are endangered species.
115
00:05:05,598 --> 00:05:06,974
Very rare.
116
00:05:07,058 --> 00:05:09,477
NARRATOR: At Disney’s
Animal Kingdom Lodge,
117
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,439
a cousin of the
giraffe keeps a low profile.
118
00:05:13,522 --> 00:05:16,400
MORI: All these markings are to
help them camouflage themselves
119
00:05:16,484 --> 00:05:20,488
really well, specifically for
the dense rainforest habitat.
120
00:05:21,572 --> 00:05:24,116
They’re known as the
ghosts of the forest.
121
00:05:25,701 --> 00:05:28,287
There she is!
122
00:05:28,371 --> 00:05:31,123
Olivia the okapi.
123
00:05:31,207 --> 00:05:33,417
Hi Olivia!
124
00:05:33,501 --> 00:05:36,087
NARRATOR: Native to the
Democratic Republic of Congo,
125
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:38,964
this type of animal was
unknown outside of Africa
126
00:05:39,256 --> 00:05:41,092
before the 20th century.
127
00:05:41,175 --> 00:05:42,968
MORI: Okapi tongues are so long,
128
00:05:43,052 --> 00:05:45,388
they can actually
lick their eyeballs.
129
00:05:45,471 --> 00:05:47,014
Their tongue’s
very handy for them.
130
00:05:47,098 --> 00:05:49,725
It’s just an extensive tool.
131
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:52,311
Let’s see if she comes.
132
00:05:52,395 --> 00:05:54,480
Olivia! Come on, Olivia!
133
00:06:01,445 --> 00:06:04,031
Come here! Come on!
134
00:06:04,115 --> 00:06:06,492
She’s gonna go actually get
that browse from the back of
135
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:09,453
my vehicle there,
which is perfectly fine.
136
00:06:16,043 --> 00:06:17,420
Olivia was born
at the barn here at
137
00:06:17,503 --> 00:06:19,380
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
138
00:06:19,463 --> 00:06:21,090
Come on, Olivia.
Away from the vehicle.
139
00:06:21,173 --> 00:06:23,509
She is eight years old now
and I have raised her from
140
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:26,929
the beginning, all the
way through where she is now.
141
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:29,515
In the beginning, she
does not like humans,
142
00:06:29,598 --> 00:06:34,520
so I went in there
every single day to say, “Hola!”
143
00:06:34,603 --> 00:06:37,857
Here comes the breakfast.
144
00:06:38,566 --> 00:06:41,235
And then we started building
a beautiful relationship.
145
00:06:41,318 --> 00:06:42,528
Yeah.
146
00:06:42,611 --> 00:06:43,612
So, I think,“Hola,”
to her, means,
147
00:06:43,696 --> 00:06:45,990
“Here comes the food.”
148
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:48,784
She loves banana
and Japanese blueberry,
149
00:06:48,868 --> 00:06:50,327
which is her favorite.
150
00:06:50,411 --> 00:06:52,830
This is willow, but she
hasn’t had it in a while.
151
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:56,292
NARRATOR: Olivia has good reason
for that healthy appetite;
152
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:58,294
she’s eating for two.
153
00:06:58,377 --> 00:06:59,879
MORI: It’s very exciting
for me to see her pregnant,
154
00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:03,132
because it’s coming
around full circle.
155
00:07:03,215 --> 00:07:05,134
She’s pretty far along.
156
00:07:05,217 --> 00:07:07,136
It’s a 13 to 15 month
gestation period,
157
00:07:07,219 --> 00:07:10,639
over a year where
we’re waiting for this baby.
158
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,187
I’m gonna be with her every
step throughout this pregnancy.
159
00:07:16,687 --> 00:07:18,814
I’m gonna be
watching with binoculars and
160
00:07:18,898 --> 00:07:21,650
making her go, go, go, go!
161
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:37,750
NARRATOR: At The Seas
with Nemo & Friends, at Epcot,
162
00:07:37,833 --> 00:07:42,254
a sassy new arrival
waits backstage for a check-up.
163
00:07:42,546 --> 00:07:45,216
DR. NATALIE: Alika came
from an aquarium in Florida.
164
00:07:45,299 --> 00:07:47,927
She’s a 12-year-old
blacktip reef shark.
165
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:50,721
The first blacktip
reef shark here at The Seas.
166
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:54,391
NARRATOR: Found in the
Indian and Pacific Oceans,
167
00:07:54,475 --> 00:07:57,353
blacktip reef sharks
are exceptionally active
168
00:07:57,436 --> 00:07:59,688
and curious.
169
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:04,276
DR. NATALIE: I actually love
working with sharks and rays.
170
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,320
Sharks look a
little ominous sometimes,
171
00:08:06,403 --> 00:08:08,531
because their teeth
are kind of out here,
172
00:08:08,614 --> 00:08:11,450
but for the most part,
if you really look at them,
173
00:08:11,534 --> 00:08:13,035
they’re really cool animals,
174
00:08:13,118 --> 00:08:16,413
and they’re really
important to the ecosystem.
175
00:08:17,665 --> 00:08:22,127
NARRATOR: Alika will join an open
environment with over 50 other species,
176
00:08:22,211 --> 00:08:26,090
so the team needs
to make sure she’s healthy.
177
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:30,386
But first, they need to
bring her in to sedate her.
178
00:08:35,015 --> 00:08:38,811
DEE: We are putting a
blow-up pool into this side of
179
00:08:38,894 --> 00:08:43,148
the habitat, and they’re
gonna fill it up with water.
180
00:08:43,232 --> 00:08:46,735
We will bring the shark into
that smaller volume of water,
181
00:08:47,111 --> 00:08:51,115
and that way we
can do the anesthesia.
182
00:08:51,198 --> 00:08:54,326
It, it certainly
is a large operation.
183
00:08:54,410 --> 00:08:58,163
She’s a smaller shark, but
she’s certainly a feisty shark.
184
00:08:59,915 --> 00:09:03,043
They’re just
gonna slowly herd her.
185
00:09:03,127 --> 00:09:05,754
Start walking in, Tina.
186
00:09:07,006 --> 00:09:08,507
Good job, guys.
187
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:10,676
Take your time.
188
00:09:13,512 --> 00:09:14,513
There you go. Nice.
189
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:15,514
MAN: Good job!
WOMAN: Beautiful.
190
00:09:15,598 --> 00:09:17,474
DEE: Beautiful!
191
00:09:18,726 --> 00:09:20,603
NARRATOR: Before
Alika’s check-up starts,
192
00:09:20,686 --> 00:09:24,773
the team mixes a
sedative into the water.
193
00:09:26,567 --> 00:09:28,152
DEE: So, she’s starting
to slow down a little bit,
194
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:30,904
so we feel
comfortable moving her.
195
00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:34,116
Yep, I think y’all are ready.
196
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:40,289
Nice. Good job, guys.
197
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:44,543
WOMAN: Yep, yep,
she’s in, she’s good.
198
00:09:45,544 --> 00:09:46,670
DR. NATALIE: So far so good.
199
00:09:46,754 --> 00:09:48,839
I’m feeling like
we’re in a good place.
200
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:53,385
DR. HALL: She’s so pretty.
She’s a very pretty shark.
201
00:09:53,469 --> 00:09:57,473
NARRATOR: First up, checking
the gills with an endoscope.
202
00:10:02,436 --> 00:10:04,188
DR. HALL: All of
her gills look good...
203
00:10:04,271 --> 00:10:05,230
DR. NATALIE: Yay! Good job!
204
00:10:05,314 --> 00:10:07,232
DR. HALL: Which
is wonderful news.
205
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:09,693
NARRATOR: Next, a
look at internal organs
206
00:10:09,777 --> 00:10:12,196
with an ultrasound.
207
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:14,865
DR. NATALIE: So far so good.
208
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:18,243
The liver health, that’s really
important in sharks and rays.
209
00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:21,497
And so, I get, kind of,
a general idea of how big that liver is.
210
00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:24,708
It lets me know how
healthy or how fit she is.
211
00:10:24,792 --> 00:10:26,919
She’s in really good condition.
212
00:10:27,002 --> 00:10:27,920
MAN: Right?
213
00:10:28,003 --> 00:10:30,339
DR. NATALIE: Yeah,
we’re just about done.
214
00:10:30,422 --> 00:10:34,468
All right guys, you can
get ready to wake her up.
215
00:10:34,551 --> 00:10:36,804
She’s awesome.
216
00:10:38,722 --> 00:10:41,517
NARRATOR: The pump flushes
Alika’s gills with unmedicated
217
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,688
salt water, to eliminate
the anesthesia from her body.
218
00:10:48,607 --> 00:10:51,485
DEE: So, right now she’s
starting to move a lot more.
219
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:55,406
DR. NATALIE: It’s just whether or not
she can swim off without falling
220
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:56,907
to the bottom
and taking a break.
221
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:59,118
DEE: Yeah.
222
00:11:12,965 --> 00:11:14,216
It’s kind of
equivalent to, like,
223
00:11:14,299 --> 00:11:16,802
an animal waking up and
they’re stumbling around trying
224
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:19,346
to get their bearings.
225
00:11:24,476 --> 00:11:27,730
DR. NATALIE: If I intervene,
I could make it worse.
226
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:34,903
She’s kind of in a
dangerous phase too.
227
00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:36,280
She’ll bite somebody right now.
228
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:37,573
MAN: Yeah.
WOMAN: Yeah.
229
00:11:37,656 --> 00:11:39,324
(overlapping chatter).
230
00:11:39,408 --> 00:11:41,493
DR. NATALIE: Ooh.
231
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,123
She’s stalling again.
232
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:48,500
DEE: You ready
for some ventilation?
233
00:11:48,584 --> 00:11:52,296
Seems like it’s gonna
be a slow process today.
234
00:11:54,131 --> 00:11:55,924
NARRATOR: The longer
Alika stops swimming,
235
00:11:56,008 --> 00:11:58,802
the lower her
oxygen levels will fall.
236
00:11:58,886 --> 00:12:03,557
If she stays still for
too long, it’s dangerous.
237
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,310
DR. NATALIE: She’s been off
anesthesia for a while now,
238
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:08,937
she should have
recovered by now.
239
00:12:09,021 --> 00:12:10,814
I’m trying to figure it out.
240
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:16,862
DR. NATALIE: She’s not
quite recovering in a way that
241
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,114
I want for her too,
so we’re just, kind of,
242
00:12:19,198 --> 00:12:21,492
waiting it out.
243
00:12:21,784 --> 00:12:23,243
NARRATOR: At The Seas,
244
00:12:23,327 --> 00:12:26,205
the team gives Alika
more oxygenated water,
245
00:12:26,288 --> 00:12:29,500
to help her
wake up from anesthesia.
246
00:12:31,460 --> 00:12:35,923
DR. NATALIE: Maybe the handling
is causing her to not wanna go.
247
00:12:36,006 --> 00:12:39,593
I wonder if we should just let
her go and see what she does.
248
00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:43,305
DEE: Let’s set her
down on the bottom,
249
00:12:43,388 --> 00:12:46,350
back up a little bit,
and we’ll, um,
250
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:50,813
maybe nudge her from behind and
see if she’ll move on her own.
251
00:13:00,489 --> 00:13:01,615
DR. NATALIE: That’s
what we wanna see;
252
00:13:01,782 --> 00:13:06,495
we wanna see her off the wall,
continuously swimming.
253
00:13:06,578 --> 00:13:10,332
She’s like, “Okay, when you
stop handling me, I’ll go.”
254
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:14,336
She wasn’t ready to go until
we said, “Let’s let her be.”
255
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:17,673
NARRATOR: Alika moves to
another stage on her journey,
256
00:13:17,756 --> 00:13:20,342
from a smaller
local aquarium to a nearly
257
00:13:20,425 --> 00:13:23,762
six million gallon new home.
258
00:13:23,846 --> 00:13:26,306
DR. NATALIE: Alika’s
made great progress today.
259
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:27,808
Before she goes to
the main environment,
260
00:13:27,891 --> 00:13:29,726
she’s gonna really have to
learn how to interact with
261
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:32,729
the other sharks and
learn how to eat cooperatively.
262
00:13:32,813 --> 00:13:35,065
I can tell she’s a fast learner.
263
00:13:43,574 --> 00:13:45,450
ARI: Don’t you love it when
the birds are smarter than you?
264
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:46,743
KATIE: They’re way
smarter than we are.
265
00:13:46,827 --> 00:13:47,744
ARI: Okay, ready?
266
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:49,997
NARRATOR: Logan the raven
prepares for the second part
267
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,874
of his new behavior;
268
00:13:51,957 --> 00:13:54,376
pickpocketing trainer
Corey’s mic wire,
269
00:13:54,459 --> 00:13:56,545
as part of the show.
270
00:13:56,628 --> 00:13:59,047
ARI: Let’s do a easy one.
271
00:13:59,131 --> 00:14:00,048
Good.
272
00:14:00,132 --> 00:14:04,052
NARRATOR: But first, a warm-up
with an activity he knows well.
273
00:14:04,136 --> 00:14:06,972
ARI: No? This not
your thing this morning?
274
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:09,933
Going into the crate is
absolutely the most important behavior
275
00:14:10,017 --> 00:14:12,185
that any of our birds know.
276
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:13,562
(squawks)
277
00:14:13,645 --> 00:14:18,233
But today, he is choosing to
do just about anything else.
278
00:14:18,317 --> 00:14:20,402
And just because he
went in the crate yesterday,
279
00:14:20,485 --> 00:14:23,405
does not mean that he’s good
at going in the crate today.
280
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:24,656
(squawks)
281
00:14:24,740 --> 00:14:29,077
I cannot speak bird, as far
as I don’t know what Logan says
282
00:14:29,161 --> 00:14:31,997
when he makes any kind
of vocalization sounds.
283
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:32,998
(squawks)
284
00:14:33,081 --> 00:14:34,458
But I can read his behavior,
285
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:37,044
so in a way I
speak bird a little bit.
286
00:14:37,127 --> 00:14:39,338
(squawks)
287
00:14:39,630 --> 00:14:42,507
NARRATOR: He’s in, eventually.
288
00:14:42,591 --> 00:14:47,512
But before he goes home,
the team tries another tactic.
289
00:14:47,596 --> 00:14:49,222
COREY: Repetition
builds confidence,
290
00:14:49,306 --> 00:14:52,517
so the behavior of going in the window
he used to do, he’s done that a lot.
291
00:14:52,601 --> 00:14:54,019
He’s done it for months
and months and months,
292
00:14:54,144 --> 00:14:55,812
so it’s a nice
easy behavior for him.
293
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:57,731
ARI: We’re gonna try to
keep this simple for Logan and
294
00:14:57,814 --> 00:14:59,441
set him up for success.
295
00:14:59,524 --> 00:15:02,361
We’re just gonna try basic
behavior of him coming out of
296
00:15:02,444 --> 00:15:05,364
his crate and going
right into the window.
297
00:15:05,447 --> 00:15:07,366
Corey is taking the
crate in the blue room,
298
00:15:07,449 --> 00:15:12,746
and we’re trying it in a window
that he’s super familiar with.
299
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:16,625
Okay, so whenever you’re ready.
300
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:18,001
COREY: All right, ready?
301
00:15:18,085 --> 00:15:19,503
ARI: Ready.
302
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:22,464
COREY: Door’s open.
303
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:27,094
Hop back in the crate.
Here he comes.
304
00:15:27,177 --> 00:15:29,805
ARI: He’s on top of
the crate, in the blue room.
305
00:15:29,888 --> 00:15:32,057
COREY: All right,
come down here.
306
00:15:33,767 --> 00:15:35,894
ARI: I think that is the
end of our training session.
307
00:15:36,228 --> 00:15:38,522
COREY: Yep, Logan is secure.
Logan is secure.
308
00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:41,108
ARI: Well, it’s always
good when we end up with
309
00:15:41,191 --> 00:15:44,319
the same amount of
birds that we started with.
310
00:15:44,653 --> 00:15:45,612
And he’s saying, like,
311
00:15:45,696 --> 00:15:49,241
“None of this is working for
me right now,” we can just say,
312
00:15:49,324 --> 00:15:50,242
“That’s fine.
313
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:52,911
Let’s maybe revisit this training
session this afternoon.”
314
00:15:52,995 --> 00:15:54,079
(laughs).
315
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:06,216
SHELLEY: This is exciting.
316
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:07,592
(laughs).
317
00:16:07,676 --> 00:16:10,971
NARRATOR: Olivia’s
in for an ultrasound.
318
00:16:11,388 --> 00:16:13,598
SHELLEY: Let’s do this.
319
00:16:17,978 --> 00:16:20,272
KIM: See if she’s
ready to come out.
320
00:16:20,939 --> 00:16:23,400
Good morning, sunshine.
321
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:25,819
We wanna see that
little nugget of yours.
322
00:16:25,902 --> 00:16:27,487
NARRATOR: If all goes to plan,
323
00:16:27,571 --> 00:16:31,491
it will be the first
baby okapi scan at the Lodge.
324
00:16:34,202 --> 00:16:35,787
MORI: Today is a big deal.
325
00:16:35,871 --> 00:16:38,165
We actually wanna see
if the baby is moving,
326
00:16:38,248 --> 00:16:41,334
how it’s doing,
before the big exit.
327
00:16:41,418 --> 00:16:43,795
SHELLEY: Touching.
MORI: Olivia, touching.
328
00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:45,255
SHELLEY: I’m gonna
start the ultrasound exam.
329
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:46,256
MORI: Okay.
330
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:48,425
SHELLEY: See what
you have in there, huh?
331
00:16:53,764 --> 00:16:56,850
MORI: Good girl!
332
00:16:59,311 --> 00:17:01,063
Good girl, Liv.
333
00:17:01,146 --> 00:17:03,273
SHELLEY: This is baby.
334
00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:08,737
So, I’m gonna try to see
if I can find a heartbeat.
335
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:11,907
Okay.
336
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:20,207
Heartbeat.
337
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:22,667
JENNIFER: Ooh, right there.
SHELLEY: Yep.
338
00:17:22,751 --> 00:17:24,544
We’re gonna record that.
339
00:17:24,628 --> 00:17:25,712
Good job, Olivia.
340
00:17:25,796 --> 00:17:27,672
Yep.
341
00:17:28,924 --> 00:17:32,594
So, I’m seeing ribs.
342
00:17:32,677 --> 00:17:34,429
JENNIFER: Mm-hmm.
SHELLEY: Lots of movement.
343
00:17:34,513 --> 00:17:35,514
JENNIFER: Oh yeah.
344
00:17:35,597 --> 00:17:37,307
MORI: Ooh, yeah, you can
see it moving around in there.
345
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:39,476
SHELLEY: Very active.
MORI: Yes.
346
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,190
JENNIFER: Can you tell
which way it’s facing?
347
00:17:45,273 --> 00:17:49,027
SHELLEY: Not yet. I haven’t
been able to see the head.
348
00:17:49,903 --> 00:17:52,364
I’m just applying a
little bit more pressure, Mori.
349
00:17:52,447 --> 00:17:53,740
MORI: No problem.
350
00:17:53,824 --> 00:17:55,117
I am monitoring her behavior,
351
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,285
and so far she is
enjoying her buffet.
352
00:17:57,369 --> 00:17:59,955
JENNIFER: Oh, happy
as a clam right now.
353
00:18:00,038 --> 00:18:02,582
MORI: She’s very focused
on me, which is a good thing.
354
00:18:02,666 --> 00:18:04,292
JENNIFER: That
looks like a foot.
355
00:18:04,376 --> 00:18:05,961
MORI: Yeah, too bad
you can’t tell a gender.
356
00:18:06,044 --> 00:18:10,465
(laughter)
357
00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:12,884
SHELLEY: Wouldn’t that be nice?
MORI: Yeah.
358
00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:16,805
SHELLEY: We’re happy,
because we’ve seen a heart rate,
359
00:18:16,888 --> 00:18:20,642
we’ve seen ribs, we’ve seen a hoof,
and lots of movement.
360
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:22,936
MORI: Awesome.
We’re almost at the end.
361
00:18:23,019 --> 00:18:25,689
She’s still focused on
the browse, which is good.
362
00:18:26,898 --> 00:18:29,192
SHELLEY: The fact that we’re
only seeing a head at a time
363
00:18:29,276 --> 00:18:32,696
or a leg at a time
just shows how big she is.
364
00:18:32,779 --> 00:18:35,407
MORI: It’s an amazing
experience to see the images.
365
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:38,201
Gestation period of an
okapi is around 15 months,
366
00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:40,745
and she’s pretty far along.
367
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,498
NARRATOR: Olivia’s baby
will be a welcome addition
368
00:18:43,582 --> 00:18:47,127
to this endangered species.
369
00:18:47,210 --> 00:18:49,087
MORI: Since she
is a first-time mom,
370
00:18:49,171 --> 00:18:51,047
we actually don’t know if
we’re gonna have any signs that
371
00:18:51,131 --> 00:18:53,717
we normally would have
with a seasoned mother,
372
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,720
so we have to closely
monitor her at all times.
373
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:00,557
NARRATOR: In the land of Asia...
374
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,933
ARI: I’m ready.
COREY: Ready?
375
00:19:02,017 --> 00:19:03,560
All right, door’s open.
376
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:05,604
NARRATOR: Logan tries again.
377
00:19:05,687 --> 00:19:07,147
ARI: What’s in there?
378
00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:10,817
Is it cool? Yay!
379
00:19:11,109 --> 00:19:14,279
That’s the Logan
that I like to see.
380
00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:26,041
Good. Cool. Love that.
381
00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:31,087
Good, good. Yeah!
382
00:19:31,171 --> 00:19:33,215
COREY: Good! Yeah!
Beautiful. Beautiful.
383
00:19:33,298 --> 00:19:34,633
KATIE: There it is. Nice job.
384
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:36,009
ARI: So good!
385
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:37,344
Lots of treats for that one.
386
00:19:37,427 --> 00:19:39,221
COREY: Yes.
387
00:19:39,304 --> 00:19:41,598
ARI: All right, so, so
far it looks like, yes...
388
00:19:41,681 --> 00:19:42,974
COREY: There we goo.
ARI: Good job!
389
00:19:43,058 --> 00:19:43,975
Good!
390
00:19:44,059 --> 00:19:46,019
Logan is doing way better.
391
00:19:46,102 --> 00:19:48,230
He’s definitely
into playing the game.
392
00:19:48,313 --> 00:19:51,650
And just like us, you know,
some days you’re ready to get
393
00:19:51,733 --> 00:19:53,401
out of bed and go to
work and do your job,
394
00:19:53,485 --> 00:19:56,029
and some days you just
really wanna stay in bed and
395
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:59,950
drink some hot tea and
listen to the rainfall outside.
396
00:20:00,992 --> 00:20:02,160
You can do it.
397
00:20:02,244 --> 00:20:03,286
COREY: Get it.
398
00:20:03,370 --> 00:20:06,915
ARI: Good, good! Yeah!
COREY: Good! Yeah, beautiful!
399
00:20:06,998 --> 00:20:08,875
NARRATOR: With the
warm-up knocked out,
400
00:20:08,959 --> 00:20:11,586
Logan’s big moment awaits.
401
00:20:11,670 --> 00:20:13,505
COREY: That was a great session.
402
00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:14,798
We got the whole thing together.
403
00:20:14,881 --> 00:20:16,675
I think we’re pretty much
ready for shows is my opinion.
404
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:17,676
What do you guys think?
405
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:18,802
ARI: I agree. That was great.
406
00:20:18,885 --> 00:20:20,136
KATIE: Yeah, you
wanna try him in show?
407
00:20:20,262 --> 00:20:22,389
COREY: Try him in show.
ARI: Let’s do it!
408
00:20:26,476 --> 00:20:28,144
KATIE: Big debut!
409
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:29,938
(squawks)
410
00:20:30,313 --> 00:20:33,483
All right Logan, are
you ready for your show?
411
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:35,860
NARRATOR: At the Feathered
Friends in Flight show,
412
00:20:35,944 --> 00:20:39,656
Logan prepares to perform
his new behavior on stage,
413
00:20:39,739 --> 00:20:42,617
in front of a live audience.
414
00:20:42,867 --> 00:20:44,828
ARI: There’s always a risk
when we do this the first time
415
00:20:44,911 --> 00:20:46,162
in show that
it’s gonna go wrong.
416
00:20:46,246 --> 00:20:47,956
I sometimes get stage fright.
417
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:50,292
I think maybe the birds do too.
418
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:51,751
Okay, are you guys
ready for the show?
419
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:53,086
ALL: Yeah!
420
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:54,963
ARI: Cool.
421
00:20:55,463 --> 00:20:57,716
COREY: The first show is
always the most exciting.
422
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,176
You never know what
exactly is gonna happen.
423
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:02,721
KATIE: All right, ready
to go, on the way to stage.
424
00:21:02,846 --> 00:21:04,306
COREY: The audience is there,
the lights are there,
425
00:21:04,389 --> 00:21:06,599
the music’s there,
the microphones.
426
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,311
KATIE: All right, here we go.
427
00:21:09,394 --> 00:21:10,645
ARI: I don't know
what Logan’s gonna do.
428
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:13,732
There’s always some excitement
around putting a bird in show.
429
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:18,194
COREY (over speaker):
Good morning everyone!
430
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:19,571
KATIE (over speaker):
Hello there!
431
00:21:19,654 --> 00:21:21,156
COREY (over speaker): Welcome
to Feathered Friends in Flight.
432
00:21:21,239 --> 00:21:22,198
My name is Corey.
433
00:21:22,282 --> 00:21:23,325
KATIE (over speaker):
And I’m Katie.
434
00:21:23,491 --> 00:21:24,701
ARI: All right Logan,
are you ready?
435
00:21:24,784 --> 00:21:25,785
Okay, here we go.
436
00:21:25,952 --> 00:21:27,912
KATIE (over speaker): So, I thought
it’d be fun to take a moment,
437
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:30,874
mix things up, and maybe invite Logan the
raven to come out here,
438
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,959
and I could teach
him a brand-new behavior.
439
00:21:33,043 --> 00:21:34,502
Do you wanna see
a training session?
440
00:21:34,586 --> 00:21:35,754
(applause).
441
00:21:35,837 --> 00:21:38,506
COREY (over speaker): Logan.
Okay, Logan, yeah, this is not in show,
442
00:21:38,590 --> 00:21:39,799
so I guess, yeah,
completely new behavior.
443
00:21:39,883 --> 00:21:40,800
This is gonna be great.
444
00:21:40,884 --> 00:21:42,844
KATIE (over speaker): Yeah, and then you
could interpret what we’re working on.
445
00:21:42,927 --> 00:21:44,763
COREY (over speaker): Absolutely.
So, this is a raven, Logan, right here.
446
00:21:44,846 --> 00:21:46,473
Very smart bird.
But here’s the thing.
447
00:21:46,556 --> 00:21:47,640
It doesn’t matter
how smart they are.
448
00:21:47,724 --> 00:21:49,267
We train them all the same way.
449
00:21:49,351 --> 00:21:51,061
Positive reinforcements.
450
00:21:51,144 --> 00:21:54,481
That means these birds can fly, hey,
let go of my laces!
451
00:21:54,564 --> 00:21:56,066
ARI: Nice, nice.
452
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:58,443
COREY (over speaker): Did you just give
him a treat for untying my shoe?
453
00:21:58,526 --> 00:22:00,403
ARI: That was awesome!
Good job, Logan!
454
00:22:00,612 --> 00:22:02,280
COREY (over speaker): Keep him over there.
‘Cause here’s the thing.
455
00:22:02,364 --> 00:22:03,573
When they get those treats,
they tend to think,
456
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:05,367
“What did I just do?
Can I do that again?
457
00:22:05,450 --> 00:22:06,576
Can I get more of those treats?”
458
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:08,328
So, that’s how we train every...
459
00:22:08,411 --> 00:22:09,621
(laughter)
460
00:22:09,704 --> 00:22:11,748
COREY (over speaker): Behavior.
KATIE (over speaker): Logan!
461
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:12,874
ARI: Oh my gosh,
look how good he is.
462
00:22:12,957 --> 00:22:14,542
So good.
463
00:22:14,626 --> 00:22:16,044
COREY (over speaker):
Katie, what’s going on?
464
00:22:16,127 --> 00:22:18,797
KATIE (over speaker): Logan, no.
Yeah, you wanna see it again?
465
00:22:18,963 --> 00:22:20,298
COREY (over speaker): No,
I don’t wanna see it again.
466
00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:21,341
Logan, we should
probably just stop...
467
00:22:21,424 --> 00:22:22,425
KATIE (over speaker):
This is hilarious.
468
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:24,135
COREY (over speaker): Can you just get him
out of here, please?
469
00:22:24,219 --> 00:22:25,136
This is not what
we’re talking about.
470
00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:27,472
(laughter).
471
00:22:27,555 --> 00:22:29,015
KATIE (over speaker):
What was that?
472
00:22:29,099 --> 00:22:31,518
ARI: Yes, that
bird knows his job!
473
00:22:33,895 --> 00:22:35,688
COREY: That was
my microphone cable!
474
00:22:36,231 --> 00:22:38,483
ARI: That was awesome!
Logan did so good!
475
00:22:38,566 --> 00:22:40,652
Yeah, good job, you did it!
476
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:42,987
Nicely done! You did so good!
477
00:22:43,071 --> 00:22:47,700
Good job, Logan! Good job!
478
00:22:47,784 --> 00:22:49,786
You’re so good!
479
00:22:51,913 --> 00:22:53,206
Woo, you did it!
480
00:22:53,289 --> 00:22:54,791
KATIE: Logan was great!
ARI: That was so good!
481
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:56,418
KATIE: It was so good!
ARI: You guys did awesome.
482
00:22:56,543 --> 00:22:58,586
KATIE: Thank you.
ARI: What a good show.
483
00:22:58,670 --> 00:22:59,796
(squawks)
484
00:22:59,879 --> 00:23:02,715
Bird behavior
changes on a daily basis.
485
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:04,551
It’s what makes
this show so fun.
486
00:23:04,634 --> 00:23:06,970
You never know what’s
gonna happen out there.
487
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:08,054
(squawks)
488
00:23:08,138 --> 00:23:09,431
MAN: High five.
COREY: High fives all around.
489
00:23:09,556 --> 00:23:11,307
KATIE: High five!
Yeah! Thanks guys.
490
00:23:12,183 --> 00:23:13,393
(squawks)
491
00:23:17,147 --> 00:23:18,648
JARROD: Today is a
very exciting day for us.
492
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:21,317
We are commissioning our
brand-new glass pulverizes.
493
00:23:21,401 --> 00:23:24,154
(shattering)
494
00:23:27,073 --> 00:23:30,201
We’re gonna turn on the power,
we’re gonna start the trommel.
495
00:23:30,535 --> 00:23:32,203
All right, we can
hear it rolling around.
496
00:23:32,287 --> 00:23:33,872
We’re gonna
start the pulverizer,
497
00:23:33,955 --> 00:23:35,790
the swinging hammers in there.
498
00:23:35,874 --> 00:23:38,209
And then we’re gonna
fire up our conveyor.
499
00:23:38,585 --> 00:23:41,504
NARRATOR: Each year, over
2,000 tons of glass are used
500
00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:43,548
at Walt Disney World Resort.
501
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:44,716
(rattling)
502
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:47,302
JARROD: So, you can hear the
glass rattling around in there.
503
00:23:47,385 --> 00:23:52,098
You can even see it over here,
going up and dropping down.
504
00:23:53,808 --> 00:23:55,477
NARRATOR: That’s
a lot of bottles.
505
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,189
But Disney has a
clever second use for them.
506
00:24:00,607 --> 00:24:03,401
JARROD: All right, we’re
gonna shut that completely down.
507
00:24:03,485 --> 00:24:05,737
NARRATOR: Turn it into
something useful for some of
508
00:24:05,820 --> 00:24:07,739
the park’s favorite residents.
509
00:24:07,822 --> 00:24:09,741
JARROD: 30 seconds ago,
this was a solid bottle,
510
00:24:09,824 --> 00:24:12,243
and now it’s this
beautiful soft sand mix.
511
00:24:12,327 --> 00:24:13,870
So, that’s the sand.
512
00:24:13,953 --> 00:24:16,623
On the other side, over here,
this is a little bigger,
513
00:24:16,706 --> 00:24:18,708
so this is more of
our gravel-like material.
514
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:26,883
The glass pulverizer processes
the glass in such a way that
515
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:28,218
it doesn’t have
sharp edges anymore,
516
00:24:28,301 --> 00:24:30,720
so that makes it very safe
for our animals to walk on.
517
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:32,347
Here at Disney’s
Fort Wilderness resort,
518
00:24:32,430 --> 00:24:35,225
it helps the horse by using
a regenerative item that comes
519
00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:37,310
from right here on
Walt Disney World property,
520
00:24:37,393 --> 00:24:39,896
but it actually creates
less dust on the trails,
521
00:24:39,979 --> 00:24:42,524
so our horses are kicking up
and breathing in less dust as
522
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:43,816
they walk every day.
523
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:46,444
You can use the glass cullet
in pretty much any way that
524
00:24:46,528 --> 00:24:48,238
you would use
normal sand or gravel.
525
00:24:48,321 --> 00:24:49,531
It can be used in
beach renourishment,
526
00:24:49,614 --> 00:24:52,575
filtration systems, and
horticultural solar amendments.
527
00:24:52,659 --> 00:24:54,827
It’s a win for everyone.
528
00:24:55,203 --> 00:24:57,705
This unit that we have
here can actually process up to
529
00:24:57,789 --> 00:25:01,501
2,000 pounds per hour, so a full ton
per hour can go through this machine.
530
00:25:01,584 --> 00:25:03,586
It’s, it's a lot of fun to see
this start out as something,
531
00:25:03,670 --> 00:25:05,880
a simple item that
a guest threw away,
532
00:25:05,964 --> 00:25:08,591
and use it in our animal
areas here at Walt Disney World.

MORI: It’s just

544
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,747
We’ve all been waiting for it
the whole time, all the keepers.

of life moment, coming around.

I’m so proud of Olivia.
548
00:27:19,097 --> 00:27:21,307
She’s alert, she’s focused,
and now we’re gonna see how
549
00:27:21,391 --> 00:27:23,559
she’s bonding with the baby.
550
00:27:23,643 --> 00:27:25,520
She cleaned it, she
has that long tongue,
551
00:27:25,603 --> 00:27:28,106
so she can do a lot
of surface coverage.
552
00:27:28,189 --> 00:27:31,693
And that’s how she
stimulates the calf to stand up.
553
00:27:33,027 --> 00:27:34,904
We’re hoping to
see signs of nursing.
554
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:38,241
It’s very important that
she stands for the baby.
555
00:27:43,287 --> 00:27:44,831
We don’t know if
it’s a boy or girl yet,
556
00:27:44,914 --> 00:27:46,499
so this is the big
drama here in the barn,
557
00:27:46,582 --> 00:27:48,501
is it a boy or a girl?
558
00:27:48,584 --> 00:27:50,670
I just wanna make sure
that the calf is healthy.
559
00:27:50,753 --> 00:27:52,797
That’s the number one goal.
560
00:28:04,517 --> 00:28:07,645
NARRATOR: Over at The
Seas with Nemo & Friends,
561
00:28:07,729 --> 00:28:10,857
the sharks prepare
for their breakfast.
562
00:28:14,193 --> 00:28:16,195
AARON: So our sharks
here in the main environment
563
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,281
are trained to come on over and eat.
564
00:28:18,448 --> 00:28:19,949
We do it super
early in the morning
565
00:28:21,409 --> 00:28:24,871
when not many other lights are on.
So when we turn on that spotlight that’s
566
00:28:25,413 --> 00:28:26,748
an indication to our sharks like
567
00:28:26,831 --> 00:28:28,499
“Hey, c'mon over,
it’s your dinner bell, time to eat!”
568
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,754
NARRATOR: Sharks are trained to follow the
lights for their food,
569
00:28:32,837 --> 00:28:36,090
so it’s safe for other fish
to share their environment.
570
00:28:37,258 --> 00:28:38,760
ALLISON: Our system’s
six million gallons,
571
00:28:38,843 --> 00:28:40,261
27 feet deep.
572
00:28:40,344 --> 00:28:44,682
We really want that light cue
to stand out among the dark.
573
00:28:44,766 --> 00:28:48,519
That beautiful indicator
of that breakfast is served.
574
00:28:51,230 --> 00:28:53,107
NARRATOR: Before they
can join the other sharks,
575
00:28:53,191 --> 00:28:56,861
Alika and her buddy Beau
must learn to feed using
576
00:28:56,944 --> 00:28:59,530
the same light cut system.
577
00:29:07,789 --> 00:29:12,126
ALLISON: Alika is insanely fast, so we
wanna give Beau the slower,
578
00:29:12,210 --> 00:29:14,045
docile sand tiger shark,
579
00:29:14,128 --> 00:29:16,756
a little bit
more of a head start.
580
00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:18,841
So, we’re waiting for
that great opportunity to turn
581
00:29:18,925 --> 00:29:21,135
that light cue on.
582
00:29:21,469 --> 00:29:23,221
Okay, I’m gonna
turn on this light.
583
00:29:23,304 --> 00:29:26,474
Good? Come on, buddy.
584
00:29:28,476 --> 00:29:32,063
Let’s see if he wants his
favorite food item today.
585
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,609
Well done, Beau.
I'm so impressed.
586
00:29:36,692 --> 00:29:39,070
NARRATOR: Now it’s Alika’s turn.
587
00:29:45,952 --> 00:29:47,245
DEE: Oh, I saw you.
588
00:29:47,328 --> 00:29:49,330
Come here.
589
00:29:51,207 --> 00:29:53,501
ALLISON: She’s a very curious,
fast little shark,
590
00:29:53,584 --> 00:29:56,420
and so any chance she
gets to socialize or come over
591
00:29:56,504 --> 00:29:58,297
and inspect, she does.
592
00:29:58,381 --> 00:29:59,298
All right?
593
00:29:59,382 --> 00:30:00,925
NOEL: Diner is open.
594
00:30:01,008 --> 00:30:03,594
Come on, Alika.
595
00:30:03,678 --> 00:30:06,639
Yeah, good girl, come on.
596
00:30:06,722 --> 00:30:10,893
There you go! Good girl.
597
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:14,230
Oh, she did great.
598
00:30:14,313 --> 00:30:15,606
I was a little worried at first,
599
00:30:15,690 --> 00:30:17,859
‘cause she kept
turning away from me,
600
00:30:17,942 --> 00:30:20,403
and that’s usually a clear
indicator with sharks of, like,
601
00:30:20,486 --> 00:30:22,905
“Hey, I’m not interested
in what you have to eat.”
602
00:30:22,989 --> 00:30:25,700
This is a great step.
603
00:30:25,783 --> 00:30:27,368
NARRATOR: Alika’s
next step is joining
604
00:30:27,451 --> 00:30:31,747
the other 50-plus species
in the main environment.
605
00:30:31,831 --> 00:30:35,126
NOEL: All in all, good day.
Always a good day with Alika.
606
00:30:41,549 --> 00:30:46,596
DR. NATI: Okapis are
super soft, even as adults.
607
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:49,974
And babies are just extra soft.
608
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:52,143
WOMAN: Yes.
DR. NATI: Soft as velvet.
609
00:30:58,608 --> 00:31:02,862
Oh, he’s so little
in that big old stall,
610
00:31:02,945 --> 00:31:05,156
it’s the tiniest little thing.
611
00:31:05,239 --> 00:31:08,910
NARRATOR: Doctor Nati prepares
to examine the newest member of
612
00:31:08,993 --> 00:31:10,953
this endangered species.
613
00:31:11,037 --> 00:31:14,081
DR. NATI: In the wild, there
would be normal behaviors where
614
00:31:14,165 --> 00:31:17,293
the mothers leaves
her baby in a safe place,
615
00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:20,504
and then she departs
to go get food or water,
616
00:31:20,588 --> 00:31:22,131
whatever she needs.
617
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:25,551
So, we try to take advantage
of that natural behavior and
618
00:31:25,635 --> 00:31:29,931
examine the baby at a time
when it feels okay for Olivia to
619
00:31:30,014 --> 00:31:32,683
depart as she normally would.
620
00:31:32,767 --> 00:31:36,729
NARRATOR: While Olivia eats,
the team makes their move.
621
00:31:36,812 --> 00:31:39,065
DR. NATI: Sorry to
wake you up little guy.
622
00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:41,943
Let’s make sure we have
a healthy okapi calf here.
623
00:31:42,151 --> 00:31:43,069

624

DR. NATI: We
definitely have a cute one.
625
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:45,529
WOMAN: Yes.
626
00:31:45,613 --> 00:31:48,240
DR. NATI: It is very calming
to them if they don’t have
627
00:31:48,324 --> 00:31:53,579
a lot of strong
visual stimulus during the exam.
628
00:31:53,663 --> 00:31:55,706

WOMAN: It's so little!
WOMAN 2: Oh, my God.
640
00:32:19,605 --> 00:32:22,483
DR. NATI: I’m gonna take a look
in these big, beautiful eyes.
641
00:32:22,566 --> 00:32:24,068
WOMAN: Hey, handsome.
WOMAN 2: His baby eyes.
642
00:32:24,151 --> 00:32:29,824
DR. NATI: What I’m not seeing is any signs
of systemic infection in his eyes,
643
00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:33,119
which in babies that’s
one of the first places it
644
00:32:33,202 --> 00:32:36,956
often shows, so
that’s a really good sign.
645
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:39,417
Everything looks normal.
646
00:32:39,500 --> 00:32:42,044
Soft, floppy baby ears.

Okay, let’s listen to his heart.

(heart beats)
649
00:32:47,091 --> 00:32:49,301
I’m not hearing a murmur,
which means that his heart has
650
00:32:49,385 --> 00:32:53,305
made the transition from being in a womb
to being in the world.

It doesn’t get better than this.
656

WOMAN: It really doesn't.

DR. NATI: And hopefully
he’ll just grow and grow and
658
00:33:08,154 --> 00:33:09,739
won’t need any help from us.
659
00:33:09,822 --> 00:33:12,533
WOMAN: He won’t.
We’re gonna be great.
660

gets along with everyone.
680
00:34:52,466 --> 00:34:54,552
She does a really good
job of socializing and
681
00:34:54,635 --> 00:34:57,263
is definitely
very socially savvy.
682
00:34:57,346 --> 00:34:59,723
Cleo is a little
bit more skittish.
683
00:34:59,807 --> 00:35:01,809
She and Tammy do
groom each other.
684
00:35:01,892 --> 00:35:04,854
They’re always interacting
and hanging out together.
685
00:35:04,937 --> 00:35:08,274
NARRATOR: These are
ladies who love to lunch.
686
00:35:08,357 --> 00:35:10,776
JONATHAN: This might bring
back some memories for people.
687
00:35:10,860 --> 00:35:12,695
Good old ants on a log.
688
00:35:12,778 --> 00:35:14,780
I’m good with the peanut butter.
689
00:35:14,864 --> 00:35:17,867
Maybe not so
much the celery part.
690
00:35:17,950 --> 00:35:20,119
NARRATOR: Mandrills
eat everything,
691
00:35:20,202 --> 00:35:21,912
from tree bark to birds.
692
00:35:21,996 --> 00:35:25,040
So, even celery
should go down well.
693
00:35:28,919 --> 00:35:31,881
BETH: Oh, someone’s
coming for the ant on a log.
694
00:35:34,258 --> 00:35:36,343
She is scraping the
peanut butter and raisins off
695
00:35:36,427 --> 00:35:38,345
of the celery and
leaving the celery.
696
00:35:38,429 --> 00:35:40,681
She has the same
sense that we do,
697
00:35:40,764 --> 00:35:43,684
that the celery is not the
fun part in the ants on a log.
698
00:35:44,977 --> 00:35:48,772
NARRATOR: What this trio doesn’t know is a
new golden girl is in town,
699
00:35:48,856 --> 00:35:51,483
and she hopes to join the gang.
700
00:35:51,567 --> 00:35:53,569
BETH: We are going to be
bringing in a new female.
701
00:35:53,652 --> 00:35:55,905
Her name is
appropriately Princess,
702
00:35:55,988 --> 00:35:57,323
which makes me really,
really excited,
703
00:35:57,406 --> 00:36:00,743
and it just seems like
it’s her destiny to come here.
704
00:36:00,826 --> 00:36:02,578
JONATHAN: Yeah,
perfect fit, nice.
705
00:36:02,661 --> 00:36:05,164
WOMAN: We're gonna
put a (inaudible).
706
00:36:06,165 --> 00:36:07,082
JONATHAN: Ready? One...
707
00:36:07,166 --> 00:36:09,710
BETH: Yep.
JONATHAN: Two, three.
708
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:12,671
BETH: Hi Princess.
JONATHAN: Come on, Princess.
709
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,882
BETH: Come on out lady.
710
00:36:14,965 --> 00:36:18,052
Yeah, good girl, good girl.
711
00:36:19,303 --> 00:36:22,640
That’s okay, baby. That’s okay.
712
00:36:22,723 --> 00:36:26,769
NARRATOR: Princess is 31,
over 90 in human years,
713
00:36:26,852 --> 00:36:30,105
and recently lost her
long-term male partner.
714
00:36:30,189 --> 00:36:35,110
But mandrills love company,
and this is her only chance to
715
00:36:35,194 --> 00:36:37,196
find a new social group.
716
00:36:37,279 --> 00:36:41,325
BETH: Her partner did die, and
so she is in need of a family.
717
00:36:41,408 --> 00:36:43,702
We are happy to
provide that for her.
718
00:36:43,786 --> 00:36:46,705
I love brining in new mandrills,
and there’s a joke on my team
719
00:36:46,789 --> 00:36:48,916
that I'm the mandrill hoarder,
so I’m the one that’s out
720
00:36:48,999 --> 00:36:52,044
looking for these single
older females to bring in,
721
00:36:52,127 --> 00:36:54,797
because I wanna provide them with that
opportunity for socialization.
722
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,257
JONATHAN: Let’s throw
some of this good stuff.
723
00:36:56,340 --> 00:36:58,592
BETH: Let’s give
her what she wants.
724
00:37:00,511 --> 00:37:03,097
JONATHAN: Kiwi.
BETH: Nice. Kiwi’s the winner.
725
00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:05,474
JONATHAN: She likes some kiwi.
726
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:10,062
BETH: Princess so far is actually looking
really, really comfortable.
727
00:37:10,646 --> 00:37:13,190
She’s been willing to
take food form us by hand,
728
00:37:13,274 --> 00:37:16,694
which is something that can take
several days for some other animals.
729
00:37:16,777 --> 00:37:18,529
We’re thinking she’s
pretty confident so far.
730
00:37:18,612 --> 00:37:21,532
JONATHAN: Good girl.
BETH: What a nice job.
731
00:37:21,949 --> 00:37:23,951
NARRATOR: Princess will
be introduced to the other
732
00:37:24,034 --> 00:37:28,789
elderly mandrills, but
she may not be welcome.
733
00:37:28,872 --> 00:37:31,250
BETH: When you put
several old ladies together,
734
00:37:31,333 --> 00:37:33,627
you really don’t know what
the dynamic is going to be.
735
00:37:33,711 --> 00:37:37,506
There’s a lot of drama and
there’s a lot of vocalization.
736
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:39,758
It will be amazing
if they welcome her and
737
00:37:39,842 --> 00:37:42,386
she fits into the group, but
we’ll just have to wait and see.
738
00:37:46,974 --> 00:37:48,017
WOMAN: Yeah,
we’re good over here.
739
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:49,226
Amy, are you good?
740
00:37:49,310 --> 00:37:50,519
AMY: I’m good.
741
00:37:50,602 --> 00:37:53,188
NARRATOR: Princess waits to
see if she’ll be welcomed by
742
00:37:53,272 --> 00:37:56,066
Disney’s other
elderly mandrills.
743
00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:58,152
AMY: I’m gonna open two.
744
00:37:58,235 --> 00:38:01,280
BETH: We’re going to
introduce Princess to the group.
745
00:38:02,573 --> 00:38:03,991
We’re hoping it
goes well, but if not,
746
00:38:04,074 --> 00:38:07,536
she may have to wait a little
bit before she joins them.
747
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:09,079
We’re doing the
introduction inside,
748
00:38:09,163 --> 00:38:11,665
just in case we
need to separate them.
749
00:38:12,166 --> 00:38:14,168
We don’t know how much
experience she had in her,
750
00:38:14,251 --> 00:38:17,046
her early life
with other females.
751
00:38:17,129 --> 00:38:18,547
I really hope they get along.
752
00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:20,382
After losing her partner,
it would be great for her to
753
00:38:20,466 --> 00:38:22,051
be part of a family again.
754
00:38:22,134 --> 00:38:24,928
NARRATOR: Luckily, the team
knows that a few light nibbles
755
00:38:25,012 --> 00:38:27,639
are the key to the
golden girls’ hearts.
756
00:38:27,723 --> 00:38:29,933
AMANDA: We always put a lot
of different things in there,
757
00:38:30,017 --> 00:38:33,354
so that they can forage,
look for new things.
758
00:38:33,437 --> 00:38:34,772
You know, it keeps them busy,
759
00:38:34,855 --> 00:38:37,024
but while interacting
with one another.
760
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:39,902
Tammy loves to snack, so
she usually likes an intro.
761
00:38:39,985 --> 00:38:41,653
(laughs).
762
00:38:41,737 --> 00:38:44,490
NARRATOR: The
lunch table is set.
763
00:38:44,573 --> 00:38:47,201
Time to mingle.
764
00:38:47,785 --> 00:38:50,537
WOMAN: All right, I’m
gonna open three hydraulic.
765
00:38:52,206 --> 00:38:54,166
BETH: They will
decide very quickly.
766
00:38:54,249 --> 00:38:56,794
They size each other
up within seconds.
767
00:38:56,877 --> 00:38:59,505
WOMAN: Opening manual.
768
00:38:59,797 --> 00:39:01,924
That’s Princess.
769
00:39:19,942 --> 00:39:22,444
BETH: The subtle teeth
bearing is actually a good sign.
770
00:39:22,528 --> 00:39:25,030
They’re smiling at each other.
771
00:39:28,367 --> 00:39:30,744
She’s just wandering all around.
772
00:39:30,828 --> 00:39:33,038
Looks good.
773
00:39:34,832 --> 00:39:37,709
WOMAN: They’re not displaying
any negative social behaviors
774
00:39:37,793 --> 00:39:39,545
towards her.
775
00:39:39,628 --> 00:39:45,050
WOMAN 2: Calm body posture,
the smiling, presenting,
776
00:39:45,134 --> 00:39:48,512
greeting each other,
but in a positive way.
777
00:39:48,595 --> 00:39:51,265
NARRATOR: And there are
encouraging signs that these
778
00:39:51,348 --> 00:39:54,518
old mandrill ladies
like the look of each other.
779
00:39:54,601 --> 00:39:56,353
AMANDA: They’ve been
together just for a few minutes,
780
00:39:56,437 --> 00:39:57,521
so they’re just trying to say,
781
00:39:57,604 --> 00:40:00,649
“Hey, I’m your friend.
How are you doing?”
782
00:40:00,732 --> 00:40:03,402
And so they actually
shown the most interaction
783
00:40:03,485 --> 00:40:06,655
during the howdy, so
they were just doing
784
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:09,533
a little lip smacking
chatter to each other,
785
00:40:09,616 --> 00:40:12,619
sniffing each other, just
getting to know each other,
786
00:40:12,703 --> 00:40:14,872
and it was all very positive.
787
00:40:14,955 --> 00:40:16,915
BETH: So, it’s going
really well right now.
788
00:40:16,999 --> 00:40:18,500
All the initial signs are good.
789
00:40:18,584 --> 00:40:21,753
Now we just need to wait to see
how she settles in with the group.
790
00:40:24,423 --> 00:40:26,467
ALLISON: We are so excited,
‘cause we’re getting ready to
791
00:40:26,550 --> 00:40:29,303
guide Alika for her move
out into our main environment.
792
00:40:29,386 --> 00:40:30,762
It’s a super big day for her.
793
00:40:30,846 --> 00:40:33,474
She’s been out here
during her quarantine process,
794
00:40:33,557 --> 00:40:36,518
so I think she’s ready to
join the main environment.
795
00:40:37,394 --> 00:40:39,897
MAN: Okay, we’re
gonna start guiding her.
796
00:40:39,980 --> 00:40:42,858
ALLISON: Nice and easy.
797
00:40:45,527 --> 00:40:47,613
MAN: Beautiful.
ALLISON: All right.
798
00:40:47,696 --> 00:40:50,449
NARRATOR: Alika’s
sedated for her own safety.
799
00:40:50,532 --> 00:40:52,534
This time only lightly.
800
00:40:52,618 --> 00:40:55,537
ALLISON: She’s a very zippy,
high-energy shark, so we wanna
801
00:40:55,621 --> 00:40:57,623
knock that edge
off just a little bit,
802
00:40:57,706 --> 00:41:01,043
and then we’ll recover her,
so that she’s fully awake
803
00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:03,879
before she goes
into her new home.
804
00:41:21,897 --> 00:41:24,816
NARRATOR: Alika’s
first stop is a holding area
805
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:27,069
which connects to The Seas.
806
00:41:28,153 --> 00:41:29,947
ALLISON: This is kind of
like our guest bedroom for
807
00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:33,116
our main environment, where
she can, kind of, settle in,
808
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,538
get used to her surroundings
and the new animals out there.
809
00:41:39,790 --> 00:41:42,793
We’re just watching her
right now and see her explore.
810
00:41:42,876 --> 00:41:46,171
We’re also watching to
make sure that she’s swimming
811
00:41:46,255 --> 00:41:49,258
and navigating
really well, which she is.
812
00:41:50,259 --> 00:41:51,510
NARRATOR: With the
see-through screen,
813
00:41:51,593 --> 00:41:55,347
it’s like a viewing
platform for her new home.
814
00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:57,266
ALLISON: Kinda watching
the other side of the screen,
815
00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:58,934
to see if anyone
comes and visits.
816
00:41:59,017 --> 00:42:02,771
The main goal of this sea pen
for her specifically is to not
817
00:42:02,854 --> 00:42:06,316
just give her the ability
to check out her new home,
818
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,320
but to also allow the other
animals to know she’s here,
819
00:42:10,404 --> 00:42:13,490
so it’s not like this big
surprise party on anyone.
820
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,287
However they communicate,
chemically, electrically,
821
00:42:18,370 --> 00:42:21,206
it’s kind of like a nice little
howdy for everyone to, kind of,
822
00:42:21,290 --> 00:42:23,917
know who the new resident is.
823
00:42:28,171 --> 00:42:31,300
It’s our first blacktip reef shark that
we’ve had here at The Seas,
824
00:42:31,383 --> 00:42:34,219
so it’s really exciting
for us to learn about her and
825
00:42:34,303 --> 00:42:37,347
see what makes her tick,
and it’s always fun to get
826
00:42:37,431 --> 00:42:40,017
a new animal, and
she’s pretty special.
827
00:42:40,100 --> 00:42:44,813
She’s super smart,
super curious, and super-fast.
828
00:42:46,315 --> 00:42:48,233
When she is ready to go
and nice and comfortable,
829
00:42:48,317 --> 00:42:51,653
we’ll be able to release her
out into our main environment.
830
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:55,198
What do you think
of your new home, Alika?
831
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:59,202
Welcome to The Seas, Alika.
832
00:43:04,124 --> 00:43:06,335
NARRATOR: It’s less than a
week since Princess arrived,
833
00:43:06,418 --> 00:43:08,503
looking for a new family,
834
00:43:08,587 --> 00:43:11,048
after her
long-term partner died,
835
00:43:11,131 --> 00:43:14,259
and she was left all alone.
836
00:43:14,343 --> 00:43:15,969
BETH: At first she
was very reserved.
837
00:43:16,053 --> 00:43:17,429
Now that she is a
little bit more comfortable,
838
00:43:17,596 --> 00:43:20,641
we’re starting to see she can be
pretty spunky and pretty sassy.
839
00:43:20,724 --> 00:43:22,517
Princess is really awesome.
840
00:43:22,601 --> 00:43:24,269
She fits in really great.
841
00:43:24,353 --> 00:43:25,937
She’s really, really
friendly with the keepers and
842
00:43:26,021 --> 00:43:28,940
she is a great addition
to this group socially.
843
00:43:29,024 --> 00:43:31,985
Tammy has found a brand-new BFF.
844
00:43:32,069 --> 00:43:34,071
She is very good friends with
Princess and they are together
845
00:43:34,154 --> 00:43:35,530
all the time, and
they are grooming and
846
00:43:35,614 --> 00:43:36,573
they are foraging together,
847
00:43:36,657 --> 00:43:38,784
which is a great sign.
848
00:43:38,867 --> 00:43:41,244
In addition to breeding
animals and contributing to
849
00:43:41,328 --> 00:43:43,163
the population in the future,
850
00:43:43,246 --> 00:43:45,624
we are helping the
population right now,
851
00:43:45,707 --> 00:43:48,335
by taking in these older
animals and providing them with
852
00:43:48,418 --> 00:43:50,712
an excellent quality of life.
853
00:43:50,796 --> 00:43:52,506
This cause is near
and dear to my heart,
854
00:43:52,589 --> 00:43:56,677
because I don’t want anyone
to be alone at the end of their life,
855
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,012
and I couldn’t be
happier for them.
