Documentaries vs cartoons: added sounds, edited stories and what is real, sentence 8

The trick is to keep asking: who made this, what was added, and does the animal behave as scientists and books say?

Who acts: animal, scientists · What happens: be, keep, ask, make, add, behave · To what, where: trick, this · Speech: someone speaks here
