Animal Senses

From the earliest primitive life forms to sophisticated animals like mammals, primates and birds, animals have evolved powerful senses to perceive their environment. These developed senses can turn mechanical waves, airborne particles, and photons into information that helps animals find food, shelter, mates, and communicate with each other. ANIMAL SENSES traces the evolutionary history of those senses.

Uptown Otters

In Singapore, smooth-coated otters have forged a unique urban lifestyle, living side-by-side with their human neighbours. And the best part? They rule this uptown world. Each family is helmed by a matriarch, and they live and die by two rules: only the alpha female is allowed to reproduce, and intruders are not welcome. The Bay Family currently occupies prime territory – Marina Bay. Meanwhile, the Townies, Nomads, and Mangrove Family have built their own empires around the island. These otters peacefully coexist – as long as they remain in their own territory, under their queen. But peace breeds restlessness. As the Bay Family settles into their home, the other clans are starting to stir, each wanting a piece of this otter paradise…
