That's because Safari is the new IE

Use force touch, unfortunately there was no time to add visual guidelines for it. Let me know if it works

  ooooh got it, thanks. Not used to using force touch on the web.

  Force touch works, but why is the interaction different from other browsers?

    unfortunately, force touch is not supported by all Macs. it's unfortunate that this doesn't work in the battery-saving browser of choice for a lot of people (myself included), because the website is gorgeous.

  I'm a long time Mac user but didn't realized that my Macbook has force touch functionality until now. Cannot see how 'force touch' adds any value, though.

    > Cannot see how 'force touch' adds any value, though. I guess if you want to scroll the page instead of dragging elements - having force touch helps distinguish two actions. I know it's different but in google maps for example it's super annoying when instead of scrolling down the page - the map iframe is trying to zoom out.

      Not sure I follow, scrolling and dragging are two completely different gestures? Overloading scroll to mean zoom is problematic, but that's not happening here. You need to click "deeper" than usual for seemingly no reason. Fwiw I also thought the page was broken in Safari, never used force touch before on a website except to preview links.

        I was referring about the 3d touch on iPhones. Maybe safari on mac and on iphone share something in them which makes 3d touch on iphone act like a force touch on macs.

    Force click to preview a link is really awesome

You're meant to enjoy the animals and sightseeing on a Safari! What are you doing on the Internet!

Thats odd. I'm on Safari 11.0 (build 12604.1.38.1.7) on MacOS 10.12.6 and it all works
