Options

This is an element, meaning it is used within other modules but not as a standalone module.

Variants

Default
Condensed
- Use .amnh-transcript--condensed.
Dark
- Add, or @extend the class .amnh-dark on the parent.

Rules

If the transcript is to be used, there must be a button accompanying it with the class .open-transcript.
Both the button (.open-transcript) and the transcript block (.amnh-transcript) must be wrapped in a container with the class .container-with-transcript. This ensures the button and block have a common ancestor so the correct transcript block will open on click.
The .container-with-transcript container does not have to be an entirely new div/block. The class can just be added to a common ancestor.
If the transcript is used in a dark section, the dark variant must be used.

Notes/Recommendations

We strongly recommend using the button provided below which allows for a toggle between + Show transcript and - Hide transcript but technically, the transcript will be toggled on any button or link click with the class .open-transcript.

Transcript

Brock Fenton (Professor Emeritus, Western University):

You can smell the ammonia as soon as you come in.

Nancy Simmons (Curator of Mammalogy, American Museum of Natural History):

There are 1,300 living species of bats. That is about 20% to 22% of all living mammals. We think that the great diversity of bats has to do with the fact that they occupy a really unusual niche for a mammal. That is, a nocturnal-flying-mammal niche. So, you have some roosting high up in trees. Others close to the ground. And different bats eating different kinds of things – nectar feeders, fruit feeders, carnivores, insectivores, and even blood-feeding bats, the vampires.

I'm an evolutionary biologist, interested in the evolution of diversity in body form of mammals, diets of mammals, species diversity of mammals. And bats are just a wonderful group to work on, because they're so diverse, so interesting, and they do so many different things.
