Not long after the Johnson Family became Maiasaura, they found themselves on the Scale Train, on the way to Claw Coliseum to begin their New Species Acclimation Classes. Jake couldn't wait, if the honking noises were any indication, though that might be more with Larry making faces at him.
After dropping off Jake at the child care place, they began learning more about the society they were now part of:
---
"I never knew that there was so many ways to combine clothes." said Annie, a little scandalized, and a lot amazed at all the workout clothes in the Fitness boutique that was part of Claw Coliseum.
"The main motto of Animalia is 'To each his or her own'," said the cashier, "So pick any top and bottom, mix and match them, and you only pay for one outfit. And don't worry if your clothes are a little short on you, because many Animalians like to show off their musculature."

"The big thing you need to learn about is that, with thick, strong tails, bending over isn't as easy as it once was." said one of their teachers. After a bit more lecturing, each member had to bend over and pick up something on the lower shelf of a simulated grocery store aisle without knocking over a nearby stacked display of canned soups. It was alright to mess up on the first time, because having tails that could be controlled was not easy to get used to.

"Now that you people are Animalians," said another teacher during midday meal break, "You'll find that your diets are going to be a little different. Fortunately for you, we've got diet guides available."
Many times, people who had been converted to Animalians often found that they couldn't eat favorite foods as they once did. While there was some disappointment in that, there was some consolidation in their Animalian Diet & Nutrition guides that talked about easy substitutes.

"You may find that the world around you might be a little more fragile than it once was." said the current Weight Room coach, during group workout. The reason why this was becoming part of the Acclimation classes was the fact that many people who had become Animalians had higher strength than they once did, and often damaged property with their now higher strength exerted at force they used to use to accomplish things.

"...And Finally," said their last teacher as everyone was getting ready to head home, "Don't be surprised if your spouse develops some new kinks, like exhibitionism. Many feral animals didn't have to deal with clothes, and are more comfortable roaming their new homes naked after being uplifted. Just remember to take it one step at a time and things will be okay."
