Simon Wanjohi listens for the signal from a radio-collared lion at dawn on the African plane.
An Adirondack black bear recovers from anesthesia after being trapped and fitted with a GPS collar by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.
An interaction between two Hawaiian monk seals is caught on tape by National Geographic's "Critter Cam." This camera also documents the details of their feeding and social behavior as they swim, hidden from sight, miles from the shore. (Photo credit: Greg Marshall, National Geographic)
Jason Brider (NYSM) sets a motion sensitive camera trap to monitor the mammals using the fragments of remaining forest in the Albany Pine Bush.
Scott LaPoint (SUNY ESF graduate student) mounts a motion-sensitive camera trap by the opening to an I-87 underpass to test for mammal movement.

Remote Monitoring
Mammalogists always use the least invasive methods to address the question at hand. Increasingly, this can be done remotely, with minimal disturbance to the animal. New technology promises to increase the diversity and effectiveness of these methods.
