Introducing WildCRUβs candid camera!
Across global research sites, our team sets up camera traps to collect scientific data, but we also capture unexpected wildlife moments!
Do you know this animal? Hint: photo taken in Africa

Jonathan Growcott in a tree, fixing some monitoring equipment to track big cats
This weekend on "When I grow up" on BBC Radio Devon & Cornwall, @exeter.ac.uk researcher Jonathan Growcott will talk about his childhood dreams - & how his first encounter with a wild lion led him to his current work on conservation of big cats
Listen at 9.10am on Saturday to hear Jonathan's story

Leopard roars speak volumes
Technique to analyse animalsβ unique vocalizations pinpoints individual leopards with 93% accuracy, which could help wildlife monitoring.
Very excited to see my research featured in Nature Africa! ππΈποΈ
We used a combo of #cameratraps and #bioacoustics to demonstrate that leopards have individually identifiable roars!
