HOW DO ANIMALS DO THAT?

Animals are extraordinary, and they do seemingly impossible things that leave humans in absolute awe. In keeping with Animal Planet’s mission to keep the childhood joy and wonder of animals alive by bringing people up close in every way, the network will take audiences on a journey to find answers to some of the most asked questions about the animal world in the all-new series, HOW DO ANIMALS DO THAT.

How do electric eels not electrocute themselves? Why don’t penguins’ feet freeze on ice? Why do dogs wag their tails? How do cats always land on their feet?  What makes some people mosquito magnets? And do elephants really never forget? These questions and other mysteries are explored each week as Animal Planet presents the natural world up close, with rare footage of animals captured in new and surprising ways.

HOW DO ANIMALS DO THAT? premieres on Animal Planet in 1Q19.
