[Question] How many different animals are there in Pirates of the Caribbean?

[janfrederick]

We enjoyed a very light Saturday morning at Disneyland with walk on lines until noon. On Pirates, I told my 7-year-old son to keep an eye out for things he hadn't noticed before. One thing that jumped out at us once we passed the fort was the large number of chickens in the ride. So I suggested we try to count the number of different animals in the ride (Donkeys, dogs, cats, pigs, etc.)

The idea came a little too late to get an accurate count. And we had a date with Indy right after that anyway. But has anybody else here attempted to count things in the ride like that? How many hats? How many women? If real, what do you think the treasure pile would be worth on the market today?

All I know is there are a LOT of chickens. I wonder why so many?

"53 audio-animatronic animals and birds."

I saw the total in Wikipedia too. I was wondering what the breakdown was. And if you consider insects animals, does that 53 include the fireflies?

"57 animals."

--Pirates of the Caribbean Wiki

I don't have any breakdown; I wouldn't consider the fireflies to be AAs, which is what the number siginfies.

I wonder if the count the frogs and peepers and stuff you hear in the bayou scene.
Other than that, I can think of:
Dogs
Cat
Parrot
Donkey
Pigs
Chickens (not counting Carlos)
Goat

Also, the seagull nesting atop the first appearing skeleton's hat in the caves... and nearby that the crab that someone else mentioned.

There's an alligator in the bayou scene at the beginning. Someone mentioned fireflies earlier that didn't make the list if you want to count insects.

[matman730]

If you want to be biologically correct, then insects are indeed members of the family Animalia. They, along with crabs, are a type of invertebrate animals called arthropods. So if you're counting all representations of non-human animals in Pirates, you have to count the fireflies.

Well there's insects, an alligator, seagull, crab, chickens, mules, dogs, cats, pigs, parrots...well that's all I can think of so far.

Well played. But then again, he's not. He takes his dunking like a man!

This might amuse some of you, but since the lighting was so dim and my eyesight was really bad when I was little I used to think the jug bottles in the water were turtles. :sweat::roll:

Glad someone else caught the Carlos reference!

No one mention the rat eyes going up the waterfall part. Maybe 12 set of eyes?
