Snapping Turtle Research

Not nearly as vicious...

I work with Tobias Landberg on a research project concerning snapping turtles based on footage from Crittercam (see the snapping turtle research team page for more info). Also, for more information on Crittercam itself, visit http://www.nationalgeographic.com/crittercam/ Quite frankly, I have no idea what the data says yet, but there's a lot to learn from the endless hours of footage collected. I'll post more when the data starts to come together.

Right now, I've finished analyzing breathing rates for Jawless and Lafayette, and so have started analyzing the locomotion rates of all three snapping turtles being studied.

Ograbme the Snapping Turtle. More vicious than all other snapping turtles. Crittercammers beware!
