Rory Wilson - The Secret Diary of Animals

English zoologist Rory Wilson is renowned for developing ingenious ways to track wild animals and record their behaviour without directly observing them. His latest invention, a lightweight electronic logger, can go where satellite-based tracking devices cannot, to observe free-living animals.

"This single concept can become a powerful tool to enable us study and understand difficult animals and thus acquire the information necessary to safeguard their welfare."

Wilsons new logger harness the laws of physics to accurately estimate the energy expenditure of animals on land, at sea and in the air, and is set to revolutionize research into the behaviour of threatened species, and obtain precious data to help save them and their habitats.

Very interesting contribution you have made to help with the study of animals and their behavior. Keep up the good work.

I really appreciate what this zoologist is doing. Humans as spectators change the behaviour of an animal which reacts to "their" presence and therefore interrupts its usual pattern of behaviour. Rory Wilson has found the solution.

Excellent work!

......and thank you Rolex for putting these videos on to You Tube.

I think if the title included the word "penguins" more people would see this video. The same should apply to the other Rolex winners (eg >Brad Norman should have the word "whale sharks" included in the  title of his video.)
