Natural History Museum teams up with Amazon's Alexa to share knowledge with curious minds

The fascinating world of the Natural History Museum is being brought to Alexa. Curious minds can now quiz the voice-activated assistant all about the weird and wonderful natural world.

More than 400 astonishing facts and unusual stories can be explored on all Alexa-enabled devices including Echo, Fire TV and Fire Tablet. Questions can be asked about the Earth’s oceans and marine life such as, “Alexa, how do oysters make pearls,” and “Alexa, what do killer whales eat?”

The stranger side of the natural world can also be investigated with questions such as, “Alexa, why do goats faint?” and, "Alexa, where are murder hornets found?" Or “Alexa, how much slime can a hagfish make?”
