Great work, Jr. Detective! Now let's take a closer look for clues at one of the African Plains exhibits. On the left is a photo taken at the exhibit. The clues you should be looking for are on the blue page to the right.

Can you spot all of the clues in the image?

Wait, Junior Detective, did you notice the exhibit sign in the photo? This is the African Wild Dog Exhibit. That could explain why a dozen eyes were reported being seen by a witness. As we know from research, African Wild Dogs are known to live together in groups called packs!

Look, we have a guest! Meet Devin, an Animal Bioacoustician called in to help with the case!

An Animal Bioacoustician is someone who studies non-human animal noises. Their field of work is called, “Bioacoustics.”

Right now, Devin’s job is to listen to the sounds that our African Plains animals make and figure out which ones are closest to the mysterious sounds heard by witnesses.

Hmmm... this is a tough one, Jr. Detective. Any guesses what the cause of the stir in the savannah was? The clues seem to point to more than one animal.
