Snapshot Serengeti
Rather than featuring some of my own photos this time, I am going to post some photos that I discovered while participating with the citizen scientist efforts of the Snapshot Serengeti project (http://www.snapshotserengeti.org/). Snapshot Serengeti is a recent offshoot of the University of Minnesota's 45-year Lion Project (http://www.cbs.umn.edu/research/labs/lionresearch) in Tanzania. They have installed over 200 game/trail cameras in Africa's Serengeti which automatically take pictures of whatever walks, slithers or flies by. These aren't high-resolution images but they do capture some intriguing creatures and behaviors. There are millions of photographs that need to be inspected to identify the number and types of animals in each image. This is where you might come in! These photos are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Please enjoy and help out if this project is of interest to you. And, if this project is not your cup of tea, then check out all the other worthwhile and intriguing projects at Zooniverse (https://www.zooniverse.org/).Here is the A to Z of animals that I have tagged ...
