Rat Research on Display to Disney Park Visitors

I have highlighted many scholarly research work done at various Disney theme parks, especially at Epcot and Animal Kingdom, and by various Disney-affiliated personnels. This is another example. The research on Key Largo woodrat is being done at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and guests can actually observe some of the efforts being done to save the animal from extinction.

Much of the work at Disney, and much of what is being learned about the once-little-known rodent, is displayed on a bank of computer and video monitors next to a lab window on Animal Kingdom's Rafiki's Planet Watch tour. Visitors who take the train to the tour's biology station get overviews of a variety of conservation efforts. Those who stop at the woodrat window can watch the monitors and talk to researchers and other program staff who take shifts answering questions.

This is why Disney theme parks are not like any other theme parks. Now, if only they could also conduct a research to see if any of these rats have the ability to cook....
