Help save Snapshot Serengeti

Post by JazHaz »

Snapshot Serengeti is a team of scientists studying the animal ecology of the Serengeti. They have been studying Serengeti lions for over three decades. Their work has been fundamental to understanding lion behavior, group living, and human-lion conflict, and to promoting lion conservation. They set up the camera traps to understand how lions share the Serengeti with the other large predators: hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards.

They're looking for funding to keep the project going. Its fundraising on Indigogo has just 36 hours left to raise about US$ 5,000.

I'm glad they made the target - this looks like a great project :)
I would have liked a half-eaten camera but couldn't really afford it :(

I wish too. How cool would that have been?

Alternatively, take your own camera and throw it to your dog. Nobody's going to know whose bite marks those are. :wink:

Also, here's a little Serengeti snapshot made by yours truly:
