Introducing WildCRU’s 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

Very excited to see my research featured in Nature Africa! 🐆📸🎙️

We used a combo of #cameratraps and #bioacoustics to demonstrate that leopards have individually identifiable roars!
