@tooltalk it may not be the best, but it's a major help

I think the camera was made well, it hung low so that when the lion lowers its head, the chin doesn't get in the way. It was strapped by leather belts (wrapped in duct tape), with stood beating, was never taken off, did not affect the behavior of the lion. I'd say this experiment was successful. My question is why have the ability to transmit video if they can simply retrieve the came when it was done? Couldn't it already store video info? Or is the extra weight?

I got a cheaper solution to this stuff... buy a GoPro HD camera, put it in a Otterbox case, and strap it to the lion with a harness

@TheHitchhikingHippie That was his point, idiot.

@iceshard24 : eh? how do you know what I'm interested in? I don't watch TV, nor do I enjoy watching the CNN coverage of war / political porns. No, the fact that you listen to endless thoughtless dribble, propaganda from BBC, Stewart's Dailyshow or Democracy Now, NPR, doesn't make you look any smarter.

That critter cam thing looks so awkward, big, clunky. This video reads like a poor defense for funding the project ($7k - $13k a pop?). With all the technologies we have thesedays, is this the best tool for gathering wild-life data?

My only beef with this idea is that the camera is so bulky. The lions gotta lug it around while hunting. But, I guess is doesn't hurt them.
