Elephant Cam!

Posted by Alex in Animal on March 25, 2008 at 4:58 am


Film-maker John Downer had a brilliant idea. He attached cameras to elephants and let them loose in an animal reserve to capture wildlife photos as you’ve never seen before:

He fixed webcams to four elephants. One carried a "trunk-cam" – a device resembling a huge log concealing a camera which could be held in its trunk and dangled close to the ground.

Another had a "tusk-cam" hooked over its tusk. The elephants moved so steadily that the images are pin-sharp. Other log-cams were left on the forest floor. [...]

    This is nothing new, there was a show on animal Planet where they put cameras on animals in the wild.
