About CrittercamNational Geographic's Crittercam is a research tool designed to be worn by wild animals. It combines video and audio recording with collection of environmental data such as depth, temperature, and acceleration. These compact systems allow scientists to study animal behavior without interference by a human observer. Combining solid data with gripping imagery, Crittercam brings the animal's point of view to the scientific community and a conservation message to worldwide television audiences.

Using cutting-edge streaming video technology, WildCam brings viewers from all over the world to the remote places where animals go about their daily lives. Watch elephants teach their babies in Africa or view of the vibrant beauty and diversity of the Belize Barrier Reef. And because it's live, you never know what may happen next! In an age where people are inundated with edited sound bytes, rapid-fire video clips, and computer-generated animation, WildCam's live streaming video gives viewers the time and space to develop a unique bond with the animals they watch. Some viewers even become "citizen scientists," making discoveries about animal behaviors and reporting them to local staff via the online WildCam forum. Keep the WildCams live—Donate today! |
