Attaching Crittercam

Greg later went to work for National Geographic. Other people joined him to study ocean animals using Crittercam. The Crittercam team experimented with everything from walruses to whales. The team learned something new from each experiment.

One goal was to attach Crittercam in ways that were safe for each animal. The team first tried attaching Crittercam to a shark by poking metal tags into its skin. Later the team used a clamp. The clamp held the camera on the shark’s top fin. No poking was needed.

The Crittercam team safely harnessed, or attached, the camera to a walrus.
