In wetlands such as the Okavango delta, scientists are setting up special cameras and leaving them unattended. These 'camera traps' photograph whatever moves in front of them. Sometimes they get leaves blowing in the wind; and sometimes they get sports-action shots like this! ...

Leap like a Lechwe into the week! This impressive photo was captured on one of our PhD Student Victoria Inman from UNSW, Hippo trail camera traps, at her study site in the delta. One of the aims of her study is to determine species diversity and temporal patterns of use of hippo trails between permanent water sources. Victoria preliminary results show huge species diversity on the paths, highlighting the important ecological role they play in connecting resources in a wetland environment. We look forward to hear more from this exciting research project.
