Remotely Sensed Wildlife Imagery
June 11, 2010 6:43 AM Subscribe
The Museum of Animal Perspectives (MAP) collects and displays wildlife imagery that has
been captured using remote sensing cameras. Through the presentation and interpretation
of this imagery, the MAP endeavors to expand the public's capacity to empathize with
animals and plants. The MAP is curated and coded by video naturalist Sam Easterson.

Sure, show the videos of animals frolicking and playing, but what about the ones of them feasting on the flesh of children or plotting the overthrow of democracy?

I think I've seen this one before. And also: it is awesome.
If someone attached a camera to my head, then the armadillo could watch and be amazed at what I do all day. Like sitting at a computer and watching what it does all day.
Perhaps this wouldn't be amazing for the armadillo.
There is a lesson for me in here somewhere.

I'm no fan of snapping turtles, but the beginning of this video is kind of heartbreaking. Imagine being that small and reptilian and being captured from your habitat and surrounded by so many giant animals poking and staring at you? No wonder he's chomping down on that towel.

It's the Museum of Animal Perspective, not the Museum of the Tea Party Perspective of the Obama White House.

What am I missing? How is this remote sensing? I was picturing something like this.

Even the animals know better than to shit in their own thread. Kindly follow their example.

I hear the camera secretly collects WildFi info on the neighboring animals and sends it to Google.
