Crittercam

Crittercam

Crittercam is a small package of instruments including a camera that can be attached to a wild animal to study its behaviour in the wild. Crittercam was invented by National Geographic marine biologist Greg Marshall in 1986.[1][2] Since then it has been employed in studies on over 40 marine and terrestrial animals.

The smallest animal yet to carry Crittercam is the Emperor Penguin. Information and footage from Crittercam was used in the Oscar-winning documentary March of the Penguins.
