SCOWA-bunga!

camera bearNext week an important conference is taking place for people who stick cameras on wild animals. We think it's called SCOWA. Scientists currently have a mania for seeing what wild animals REALLY do when we're not looking: crows using tools, coyotes playing poker, that sort of thing. National Geographic has gotten into it with its Crittercam. NPR has a feature on the crows who, honest to gosh, use tools. As cameras get smaller, look for The Secret Life of Bacteria.
