ONLINE: At first blush, camels, dolphins and mules seem to have little in common. Yet they each have had a place alongside humans for centuries. This lecture-based course will explore topics such as: What is inside camels' humps? How long can camels survive without drinking water? Can dolphins sense what is going on inside human beings? Why do dolphins seem to be smiling, but porpoises look sad? What creates those loud and raucous brays that mules make? Why should your grandkids consider a pet mule instead of a pet horse? We will learn about the anatomy, behavior and characteristics of each of the three animals, along with their roles throughout history. Even today, each creature continues to play a different, but important, part in human progress. Take an educational adventure into this delightful realm of knowledge that may surprise you! | Lecture + Q&A.
